These albums were released today. I listened to them. I liked them.
Spiral Stairs- Doris and the Daggers
Formerly of 90s alternative band Pavement, Scott Kannberg 2nd solo album tells of emo(shuns), unconditional love, angel eyes, and boat builders. Guitar solos. Fade outs. Gang vocals. Let's rock.
Drew Holcomb And The Neighbors- Souvenir
12 shows in 24 hours. That's how East Nashville folk singer-songwriter decided to kick off his album release. Starting with a Facebook Live Q&A and set of "New Year", "Postcard Memories" and "California" his 1 day tour took them all over the city to perform the great new songs.
Mount Eerie- A Crow Looked at Me
Anacortes, WA multi-instrumentalist Phil Elverum sings of his wife's death on his newest album. Recorded in his home using her instruments, it's definitely worth a listen (or 20).
The Bug Vs Earth- Concrete Desert
Kevin Martin(Bug) of King Midas Sound and Dylan Carlson of Olympia psy rock band Earth came together to create a lengthy vocal-less album based around the City of [Fallen] Angels. Inspired by grime, rock, electronic, and synth, I just have one word to described it: haunting.
Snakehole- Interludes of Insanity
Self-described art rock duo Autumn Casey and KC Toimil of Miami's Snakehole put out a noisy and very incredible record. Although very different, I couldn't help thinking of one of my favorite punk bands Bikini Kill while listening to this. From "Hollow Tomorrow", short and sweet "Bum Song" to the 10 minute outro "Izardus", be sure to turn those speakers up.
