As ever, all the tracks that make it onto the playlist are aces in my book but if I absolutely, positively had to pick no more than five to check out this week, it’d be these.
If you’re looking for new albums, all the new long-players I’ve spotted from emerging, independent, and DIY artists are here
SINGLE
The Buoys – Bitch
The Buoys are back with a ripsnorter, as intelligently precise as it is ferociously cross, pulsing and shiny pop mashed into rich contempt and single-digit defiance.
SINGLE
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – MOTHER
By turns cinematic, threatening, and chaotic – the only thing this barnstormer needs is a fight scene to go with it. Quentin, are you listening?
SINGLE
Gut Health – Beat To Beat
Gut Health’s wide-eyed energy is set to full tilt, their hypnotic, driving mayhem at maximum strength. It’s like it’s got its own gravity and all you can do is plunge towards it at high speed.
SINGLE
Blain Cunneen – Crack The Sky
With his last track release before the ‘Only Wanting‘ LP, Blain Cunneen lets the brakes off on a track as textured and tactile as ever, but with an added injection of fuel and vim.
TAKEN FROM THE ‘NIGHTWRIGHTER’ ALBUM
Charlie Collins – You Might Be A Man, Just Not Man Enough
Charlie Collins lays out every step of a hard journey on her ‘Nightwriter‘ album, and this is just one of that record’s very beautiful, very sad, and very, very angry songs.
