Definitely. All of those are great albums
Ooo thanks for the heads up. I liked their previous album.
Good mention. Love this album!
I know I've heard their "shitty" album and I liked it. I can't remember if I've heard either of their first two
Slint's 1991 album Spiderland is one of my favorite albums ever. They haven't done anything since and I have no idea what those guys are up to but I'd definitely be intrigued if they popped up again
Outkast is one of my favorite hip hop artists and I would definitely be excited if they decided to do something together again.
I can't argue against this. It's an excellent album
FYI I see a typo on the short list. Frankie and the Witch Fingers. (Awesome band by the way)
Awesome picture! And I love how you transformed it for your album art
New Slowdive! I've been looking forward to this one. So far it's great!
I only listened to a few songs but I like what I hear so far! I'll listen to more later. A couple of questions first...
What song(s) are you most proud of?
Did you make your own album art? It's really cool.
New album by The Armed. This has more of a rock sound then their previous works which had this interesting blend of hardcore and noise pop. Honestly I didn't love their previous works that much but they were always unique so I wanted to check this out. Although it's not as unique I'm finding myself really enjoying this. It just sounds very well put together if that makes any sense. Song whip below!
Another record released today that I'm enjoying. This is Margaret Glaspy's third album but the first I've heard from her. I'd describe it as bluesy alternative. Great vocals and lyrics. And I love the details from the bass and drums throughout the album. Songwhip below!
I'm enjoying this debut album from Irish group Naked Lungs. It's like a darker doomier Fontaines DC.
The harp is an underutilized instrument in my opinion. Here's some "Harp Rock" from singer/harpist Mikaela Davis.
Here's an album I've been enjoying from Glasgow sibling duo comfort released a few months ago. I'd describe it as punk with experimental electronic sounds and witty social commentary. Songwhip below. Enjoy!
I'm really liking this debut by Australia's Rin McArdle. This actually came out last week but I'm calling it fresh anyways. She's friends with Courtney Barnett so you know it'll be good. Songwhip link and an NME article about her below.

I'm going to talk about some serious stuff here so move along if you were trying to keep things light today.
Scott Hutchinson from Frightened Rabbit died by suicide in 2018. Throughout his music Scott often talked about anxiety and depression and suicide. I highly recommend Frightened Rabbits 2008 album The Midnight Organ Fight. I want to link every song from that album but I'll limit it to just 3.
The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit
In this song he compares anxiety and depression to leprosy and asks the question to his significant other why would you love a modern leper? Are you a masochist?
Scott often said that he openly wrote and sang about his illness hoping that it would help someone else.
Head Rolls Off - Frightened Rabbit
In this song you'll hear the lyrics "when my blood stops someone else's will not" and "while I'm alive I'll make tiny changes to Earth" indicating his desire to help others by sharing his feelings and his pain.
Floating in the Forth - Frightened Rabbit
In this song you'll hear him ask the question "is there peace beneath the roar of the Forth road bridge?" and then make the somewhat hopeful statement "I think I'll save suicide for another year."
His body was found near the shores beneath the Forth road bridge near Edinburgh. Making this song so much more powerful knowing that he predetermined his death more than 10 years in advance and those thoughts were constantly with him.
