Happy Tuesday, friends and fronds!
We have a relatively lighter Release Week ahead of us. Looking past the graveyard of “Feb” releases that haven’t quite been nailed down yet, the shortest month of the year begins with a lot of unknown Artists, with a handful of veterans.
Among the known, I’m looking forward to hearing from KMFDM, J. Mascis, and Switch w/Moka Only.
An Artist I’ve heard some buzz about from the UK is releasing their debut album on Friday. The Last Dinner Party is a quintet from London that has all the Music trades aflutter in England. Prelude To Ecstasy promises theatrical Pop with a lyrical bent.
Oddly enough, my BandCamp Wishlist is chock full with seven titles on tap. That’s perfect for the first BandCamp Friday of the year. Today I’ll spotlight a New York Artist who has worked with Marc Ribot and John Zorn. Ches Smith is a multi-instrumentalist and composer. His Electronic Large Band album Laugh Ash comes out on Friday.
Hope your days are bright and beautiful, and I hope to see you again on Friday, so I can share some newly-finagled sounds for our listening holes. Take care of yourself!
