In Standard Definition is the second studio full-length album by American glam rock band Art D'Ecco, it was released on April 23, 2021,  Glam rock certainly feels like it should have a massive revival movement happening any day now. We've already got plenty of artists revitalizing soft rock and neo-disco to show for the era, after all. I found this really nice but otherwise forgettable–aside from I Am The Dancefloor, which feels like the title of a song that should have existed decades ago, and it's really good,  There's nothing wrong with making a glam-rock record in 2021. Making the altar of Bowie and Bolan sound brilliant . This is a genre of excitement and bombast.   Bowie, T-Rex with a new romantic flavor and h as a very timeless vintage feel but feels modern too. In Standard Definition is possibly going to be far too  eerie  an album for some  audience , but those that are curious about what d’Ecco has to offer should definitely go on this  ...

Fate in Seven Lessons is the third studio full-length album by American synthpop darkwave band Cold Cave,  It was released on June 11, 2021.  this is Cold Cave's version of Power, Corruption & Lies, and the New Order comparisons don't stop there, with the second track "Night Light" sounding very much like New Order's "Temptation" (even though that was a single released prior and did not appear on the album). the gorgeous album cover evokes Peter Saville's beautifully rendered cover from 1983. Wesley Eisold carries the weight of the vocals here, but the "other" Amy Lee still lurks about on some of the tracks. there is a 1980s nostalgic air to these songs and Eisold is clearly reaching back to his roots in celebration. if you know these sounds and where they are coming from, you'll get the intentions here.  2019 smash hit single "Promised Land" serves as the closer and it is an excellent choice to give this powerful track ho...

Jubilee is the third studio full-length album by Indie pop band Japanese Breakfast, It was released on June 4, 2021, This album is amazing, it transcended my expectations.  something that is simultaneously catchy and weird and beautiful and funky and challenging to listen to. So far this is scratching all those itches. The songs are about recalling the optimism of youth and applying it to maturity adulthood. They're about making difficult solutions, fighting ignominious impulses and honoring commitments, confronting the constant struggle we have with ourselves to be better people."Throughout Jubilee, Zauner pours her own life into the universe of each song to tell real meaningful stories,  beautifully layered and articulate. It's the kind of album you can play for people.  Inspired by records like Bjork's Homogenic, Zauner delivers bigness throughout - big ideas, big textures, colors, sounds, and feelings. At a time when virtually ev erything feels ext...
