Oh boy, do we have a Release Week worth shouting about!
Even with the outside chance of the new Drake album coming out (which it probably won’t), and an even smaller chance of a new Kanye album (which I hope doesn’t come out), there are a plethora of Grade-A Artists with new titles. Indie darling Sufjan Stevens is back with a new album. Rock saviours Paramore and Electronic legends Depeche Mode both have remix projects. Current buzzworthy Artist Slauson Malone 1 is releasing his debut album, and Kanye’s fellow antisemite Roger Waters continues to ride his past Pink Floyd glory. Of course, topping them all is the comeback story of all time, Rick Muthafuggin’ Astley.
Other noteworthy and interesting Artists with wares to peddle this week include Taliesin, Darius Rucker, Kool Keith, Pitbull, Timber Timbre, and Keanu Reeves’ Dogstar.
With it being the first week of the month, the rent is due. Also it’s BandCamp Friday, so don’t forget to support your favourite artists. My Wishlist is crammed with nine titles awaiting adjudication. Chouk Bwa is a six piece from Haiti who has been collaborating with a Production duo from Belgium called The Ångströmers. Their second full-length Somanti is due Friday.
Feel free to come back to this very location on Friday (and every Friday) to share with me the fruits that the Music gods and goddesses have bestowed. It’s a fun thing that I do.
