The albums
we’re most excited about listening to on New Music Friday
Courtney
Barnett & Kurt Vile – Lotta Sea Lice
Tomorrow, Courtney & Kurt (slacker
rock pioneers, not the King and Queen of grunge) release their collaborative LP
‘Lotta Sea Lice’ through indie label Marathon Artists, home to POND and Jagwar Ma. Expect to hear slacker rock with blues riffs and witty, conversational
vocals throughout. This is a highly anticipated project and a must listen to
fans of both Courtney & Kurt. If the first two singles, ‘Continental Breakfast’ and ‘Over Everything’ are anything to go by, we are in for a rare
treat.
King Krule –
The Ooz
Archy Ivan Marshall aka King Krule is an
English singer-songwriter, rapper, producer and multi-instrumentalist. ‘The Ooz’
is King Krule’s sophomore album and follow up to 2013’s ‘6 Feet Beneath the
Moon’. The 23-year-old has garnered much critical acclaim for his experimental
sound which combines elements of trip hop, punk jazz, and darkwave.
Check out the moody first single titled ‘Dum Surfer’ from the new project.
St. Vincent
– MASSEDUCTION
Experimental pop princess St. Vincent
(Annie Clark) is back with her 5th studio album ‘MASSEDUCTION’. The
weird and wonderful musical pioneer, who has toured with Sufjan Stevens’ backing band and had a spell in Baroque pop group The Polyphonic Spree, has had massive
success over the years and we predict her new effort will arrive with similar
critical praise. Annie is a master of experimental rock and electro-pop and she constantly shows her eclectic music background, nurturing it into pop brilliance.
Listen to the witty ‘Los Ageless’ now.
Wu-Tang
Clan – Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues
Martin Shkreli can’t even keep the new
Wu-Tang record from us. This new collection of tracks harks back to the classic
sounds of 90s hip hop. Even with absent members such as GZA, this is a must
listen for any hip hop advocate as the album promises an extensive 18 song
track-list packed full of vintage sounding hits that we've come to expect from the
legendary New York City rap collective.
Wrap your ears around ‘People Say Featuring. Redman’ here.
That's all
for this week, let us know what you think in the comments and send us some new
records we may have missed!
Cheers
