Album of the Week – 15/03/24

There is a quite lovely album released by Four Tet this week, called Three. It’s a bit harsh not to give it the album of the week, but you come here for the hard choices!

There are also releases from the likes of The Dandy Warhols (Rockmaker) and The Black Crowes (Happiness Bastards) which will make some people very happy!

We went for Dan Boeckner of the Wolf Parade, with his solo release called Boeckner! You can check it out below…

Album of the Week — Dan Boeckner (of Wolf Parade) – Boeckner!

Daniel Boeckner understands the grit and gravel that accumulates in the heart and that it takes an unwavering courage to crack through that clutter and burrow to the other side. And in Boeckner’s hands, that quest comes via postapocalyptic synth and guitar heroism, a rallying cry for those always coming home through the scorched clouds. Throughout his work with Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits, Operators, Atlas Strategic, and more, the iconic Canadian indie rocker recognizes that few feelings are more gratifying—more memorable, more generative, more abundant—than hope. But it takes getting the hell out of your own way. A culmination of that deep library of musical reference, Boeckner is set to release his first album under his own name: Boeckner! “I think in a lot of ways in my mind I’m still playing in a punk band in Vancouver,” Boeckner laughs. “Starting back when I was a teenager, my life in music has been trying to develop my own musical language, and this record is the beginning of presenting that.”
