Album of the Week – 22/03/24

Some great new sounds this week with The Staves (All Now) and Waxahatchee (Tigers Blood). There is a new album by elbow (Audio Vertigo) and The Jesus and Mary Chain (Glasgow Eyes).

If you’re a fan of Julia Holter, you’re in luck as she’s just released a new album called ‘Something in the Room She Moves’.

It’s a busy, busy week for new quality albums, but the one that made it to the top of the heap is…

Album of the Week – Adrianne Lenker – Bright Future

on bright future, adrianne lenker, a songwriter known for turns of phrase and currents of rhyme, says it plainly, “you have my heart // i want it back.” documented with analog precision, what began as an experiment in collaboration, became proof adrianne’s heart did return, full to the brim, daring her into the unknown.

admirers of adrianne’s solo music and big thief will find on bright future her reliable talent captured in stunning, magnetic clarity. in the company of parlor instruments, adrianne’s modern melodic and lyrical inventions create new traditions. her vocal flights at times outwit gravity, then land, guiding along an earthly path. the wholeness of the unspliced recordings preserve a time of musical friendship during a golden season.
