New Music 05/2023 – Neil Young, Beyoncé, Wet Leg
Tag: indie
Sometimes you suddenly find yourself getting into the artists you were never all that interested in, and that was the case with Neil Young and Beyoncé for me. Plus, a debut album from one of last year’s most-hyped bands.
New Music 10/2022 – Rosalía, Torres, Nilüfer Yanya
I kinda slowed down on the new music in the past few months, and music in general to be honest, because for some reason I’ve preferred listening to YouTube creators and podcasts lately. However I did find time for a few great releases from this and past years.
New Music 07/2022 – Dry Cleaning, Brandi Carlile, Tori Amos
Wiry and playful post-punk; classic songwriting and a great voice; a sparkling return to form, fifteen years in the making.
New Music 04/2022 – Arlo Parks, Bicep, The Weather Station
A thoroughly charming neo-soul debut; an electronic album by a Northern Irish DJ duo; a quietly beautiful record about grief and climate change.
New Music 02/2022 – Julia Stone, Baker Boy, Martha Marlow
I picked up some great releases by the Australian artists after working through Double J’s Best of 2021 list, including a couple of impressive debuts and an intriguing musical re-invention.
New Music 01/2022 – Billie Eilish, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Peaches
Excellent sophomore album about the dangers and costs of fame; beautiful meditation on grief and loss; the Queen of Electro Smut.
New Music 11/2021 – Waxahatchee, Courtney Barnett
I caught up with one of the most critically acclaimed albums from 2020, plus something old and something new (and something blue) by one of my Aussie favourites.
New Music 12/2020 – A-WA, Grimes, Sufjan Stevens
Another musical trio of Haim sisters (from Israel rather than Los Angeles); a concept album about the goddess of climate crisis; brilliant electronic re-invention.
New Music 10/2020 – Lykke Li, Michael Kiwanuka, SOAK
Sad songs from a Scandi songstress that you can dance to; brilliant third album from the UK soul man; a grim title for the not-so-grim music.
New Music 02/2020 – Sudan Archives, Sturgill Simpson, Nilüfer Yanya
A couple of promising debuts from young female artists; an awesome stomping rawwk record.
