Image
Glove released a new single called Behaviour, and also their previous singles called Personality Change and Enervate. go check their music on all the music platforms. Glove is releasing a new debut studio album, it's in the works, Glove is an exciting four-piece New wave/Post-Punk American band originate from Tampa, Florida. They’re a young group of individuals, got retro 80's feel, and are a group of new musical creators making music that range both Post-Punk, New Wave, and Proto-Rock. They’re definitely a band with synthesizers, but not a synth-group. Let’s be clear. I hear vintage nostalgia musical influences crawling in from the likes of Gary Numan, New Order, The B-52s, Devo, Can and Neu!, Glove, founded by Rod Woolf and Brie Denicourt, was the beginning of a new project after parting ways from their old band called Veiny Hands. Shortly after their band formation, mutual friend Michelle Primiani joined in as their synthesist. With a few temporary bassists coming and going ...

Album Review: Tyler the Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost

Image
Call Me If You Get Lost  is the sixth studio album by American rapper Tyler the Creator, It was released on June 25, 2021.  Call Me If You Get Lost  is a return to the prominent styles and genres Tyler experimented with in his early career collided and it creates an album with little to no negatives, ending up with something that is on the same level as an IGOR, but with more hardcore raps and a new level of production that Tyler has reached.  Tyler did a great job reminding us who he is on this album.  Great voice and lyricism on his verses throughout the album, whether he's being loud and wild or calm and contemplative. A few 8-10 minute adventures really throw you for a loop in the middle of a sea of 2-3 minute tracks, rapid-fire, and with a constantly changing cast of characters.    I really love how atmospheric, nostalgic and euphoric this album is. The constant between the hot summer vibe to the gritty mafia-sounding hip-hop is truly the icing on...

Album Review: Charlotte Day Wilson - Alpha

Image
Alpha is the debut studio full-length album by Canadian singer Charlotte Day Wilson, It was released on July 9, 2021.  this was probably my most highly anticipated record of the year. there is truly something so special about charlotte day wilson's voice/tone and the mood she sets. for some reason, 'alpha' ended up missing the mark for me. maybe I was expecting too much...but I really thought there would be some more interesting things happening. perhaps it will grow on me,  After having worked with artists like BadBadNotGood and Daniel Caesar, Canadian singer, songwriter and producer Charlotte Day Wilson come through with a very promising debut in ALPHA. Throughout these r&b and soulful tracks, Wilson talks about her experiences navigating through love being a queer woman. She has an enchanting voice that is utilized throughout to build layers around her main vocal with stunning effect (check out the entirety of “Mountains” and the tail ends of “If I Could” & “Wish...

Album Review: Art D'Ecco - In Standard Definition

Image
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  ...

Album Review: Cold Cave- Fate in Seven Lessons

Image
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...

Album Review: Japanese Breakfast- Jubilee

Image
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...

Album Review: St. Vincent- Daddy's Home

Image
Daddy's Home is the sixth studio full-length album by American artist St. Vincent, it was released on May 14, 2021.  Daddy’s Home  may lack the more exhilarating, guitar-shredding moments of some of Clark’s earlier work, but it’s possibly her best, most considered modern album to date.  Daddy’s Home feels like a complex yet real moment for St. Vincent. Consistently captivating, it gazes into the future but through an authentic homage to the alt-funk and psychedelic soul of the 1970's.  The lived -in, sleazy shimmer, fiery Wurlitzer and crescendos, melodies that take up rent in your mind for days on end, lyrics that personally bring us in to reflect and relate it's all a testament to St Vincent's well-realised artistic vision and musical chops. I was immediately intrigued by the crunchy guitars and body image themes that have become a staple of Annie Clark's work.  While she has evolved as an artist since her early projects.  Annie Clark's voice is often res...
