tune in to the best of this week’s releases <3
Chanel Beads – Your Day Will Come
- Your Day Will Come is an idiom that holds significance for Chanel Beads. The title of Shane Laver’s first LP, and now his second full length album, Your Day Will Come is a layered phrase shaping Chanel Beads’ existential music. Hypnotic and trancelike, a chanting collage, in Your Day Will Come Chanel Beads chooses life.
synecdoche new york – meanderings
- synechdoche new york’s second EP meanderings dropped this week and is fourteen minutes and thirty-two seconds of hypnagogic reverie. The EP is loosely centered around a lo-fi guitar, with indie tinged electronics darting in and out of the mix. “when you call” is my favorite off the EP, nostalgic to its core. Make sure to catch the band’s debut show at Elsewhere Zone 1 July 20th.
@ – Autosmile
- Philly art-folk duo @ announced Autosmile, their sophomore album releasing October 16th on 4AD. The LP’s self-titled single is ethereal, bridging warm acoustics and lyrical incantations. With baroque melodies and an avant-garde structure, @’s music reflects the trust Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak hold within one another. The two’s dyadic bond creates one penetrating harmony in Autosmile.
Jonah Paz – Speeding
- The amount of music released by Jonah Paz blows my mind. One half of ear, Paz released Can we get high?, Love Egg’s I <3 You, and his own single within the span of a week. But, in Paz’s case, quantity does not outweigh quality. Speeding highlights Paz’s renowned ability to merge electronic and acoustic elements into one lo-fi, eternal, collection of love songs.
Tommy Fleece – Ultrasonic
- Tommy Fleece’s new album Ultrasonic is the tweemo hyperpop soundtrack to bump all summer. Glitchy and upbeat, Ultrasonic exudes swag. It’s intended for pure, uninhibited fun. Throw it on your loudest speaker.
