New Music Round-Up
In our preoccupation with Fall Out Boy’s comeback effort, we let a handful of good/great albums go unmentioned. Sorry about that one.
To make it up to you, here is a round-up of this week’s highlights. This is probably the strongest week of new releases so far this year. Let us know what you think in the comment section.
The Shouting Matches, Grownass Man
Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon debuted his blues-rock trio at Coachella last weekend. Think of it as a more accessible version of Bon Iver. It is kind of wild to hear Justin Vernon exert some energy. Being giant blues-rock geeks, its hard to not fantasize about a Justin Vernon/Jack White collabo after hearing this album.
Charli XCX, True Romance
Charli XCX dropped her full-length debut this week. The result is a nearly flawless dance-pop album. You may recognize Charli XCX from Icona Pop’s smash-hit, “I Love It.” Some tracks exhibit that same catchy, fuck-it kind of attitude, but True Romance has a moody vibe to it that gives the music a little more depth.
Lollapalooza 2013 Lineup Announced
The official lineup has been announced for Perry Ferrell’s annual mega-festival.
Highlights include: The Cure, Mumford & Sons, the Killers, Nine Inch Nails, Phoenix, the Postal Service, Vampire Weekend, New Order, Queens of the Stone Age, the National, the Lumineers, Kendrick Lamar, Eric Church, Knife Party, Steve Aoki, Thievery Corporation, Major Lazer, Hot Chip, Local Natives, Two Door Cinema Club, 2 Chainz, Tegan and Sara, Lana Del Rey, Alt-J and many more.
Lollapalooza is set to engulf Chicago’s Grant Park August 2-4.
Glastonbury Festival announces stupid huge lineup.
It would probably be easier for the folks at Glastonbury Festival to just list the bands that are not playing this year.
Highlights include: Rolling Stones, Mumford & Sons, Dizzee Rascal, Vampire Weekend, Elvis Costello, the XX, Smashing Pumpkins, Alt-J, Two Door Cinema Club, Tame Impala, Alabama Shakes, Of Monsters and Men, the Lumineers, Public Enemy, the Weeknd, Major Lazer, Django Django, Dinosaur Jr., Phoenix, Tyler, the Creator, Nas… Oh fuck it, we’re tired of typing.
Who wants to plan a trip to England??
