New Music 04/2021 – Lana Del Rey, Dead Can Dance, Triple J’s Hottest 100 Volume 28
Tag: pop
Lana Del Rey finally makes a great album; a catch up with the latest from my favourite otherworldly duo; a musical snapshot of the year 2020 according to Triple J.
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 08/2020 – Dead Can Dance, Aurora
Playing catch-up with a long-time musical love and my new favourite Norwegian singer-songwriter.
New Music 03/2020 – Weyes Blood, FKA twigs
Sumptuous vintage-flavoured loveliness; no sophomore slump from the queen of experimental pop.
New Music 10/2019 – Sleater-Kinney, Billie Eilish, Gillian Welch
The best kind of surprise from my long-time faves; I finally jump on the Billie Eilish hype train (and enjoy the ride); more of the warm and lovely folk-country.
New Music 07/2019 – Christine and the Queens, Jenny Lewis, Neko Case
Excellent follow-up from the gender-bending French singer; my two favourite musical redheads release solo albums after a five-year break.
New Music 04/2019 – Rosalía, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kacey Musgraves
Spanish flamenco meets R&B; cinematic French pop; sunlit American country.
