Weekly reviews cover a handful of new albums across genres, with additional roundups of indie releases and previews of upcoming metal. Daily posts include music news, track premieres, and a weekly-updated playlist of current favorite tracks. The Beths release Straight Line Was a Lie this Friday and shared the title track ahead of release. Prewn will release a new album in October; the single "Dirty Dog" is noisy and grungy and inhabits a nightmarish dreamscape of the unconscious, depicting a self-serving man who abandons his needy mother and returns too late. Sloan's "No Damn Tears" blends late-stage Jellyfish Babies, early-'80s The Fall, and touches of Simon & Garfunkel; the album Based on the Best Seller arrives September 29. Runnner's A Welcome Kind of Weakness is out this Friday on Run for Cover, and the preview "Claritin" addresses allergies while questioning whether to feel everything even at the cost of pain or to choose numbness.
So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
Prewn's new album arrives in October, and the latest single is the noisy, grungy "Dirty Dog." "'Dirty Dog' is a song that lives in the nightmarish dreamscape of the unconscious," Izzy Hagerup says. "A place of fear and fearlessness, freudian and a little evil. The song is about a self-serving man who's abandoned his needy mother and comes crawling back when it's a little too late."
Sloan's Andrew Scott, who wrote "No Damn Tears," describes it as "Musically, we can take 4 cups of late stage Jellyfish Babies mixed with several heaping tablespoons of early '80s The Fall and to finish before plating - a little dusting of Simon & Garfunkel, not to mention a title reference to our old HFX band with Dave, Jennifer and Doug: No Damn Fears." Sloan's new album, Based on the Best Seller, will be out September 29.
