Album of the Week – 20/06/25

There’s a new compilation from The B-52’s released this week simply called “The Warner and Reprise Years”. If you want to relive their glory days, we suggest you investigate.

There are also new releases from GoGo Penguin (Necessary Fictions), U.S. Girls (Scratch It) and Tropical Fuck Storm (Fairyland Codex).

If you want your pop-rock itch scratched, we suggest HAIM and their new release I quit.

Album of the Week – HAIM – I quit

“Rock trio HAIM have announced a June 20 official release date for ‘I quit’, their highly anticipated fourth studio album on Polydor Records. The 15-track album was produced by Rostam Batamanglij and Danielle Haim. The album radiates the raw energy of seasoned performers whose deep reverence for classic rock shapes songs that are built for live performances.

I quit is the first new album since the band’s 2020 album Women In Music, Pt. III, which earned them a Brit Award for International Group. The album received two GRAMMY Award nominations, including the prestigious “Album of the Year” recognition. With this nomination, HAIM became the first all-female rock group to be included in the GRAMMY’s top category. Women In Music, Pt. III debuted #1 on the U.S. Album Sales chart and entered at #1 on the UK Album chart.”
