Albums in Stores – Jun. 9th, 2017

Guess I'll give Rancid and Rise Against a listen. It's a punk rock friday at the office.

 

New rise against is in my top 5 albums of the year after one listen! Incredible album!

Also, new Manchester Orchestra single!!! New album drops in July!!!

 

Rise Against for sure, plus I'm gonna check out new Our Last Night EP which is out today as well.

 

Excited to check out the new Phoenix 8)

 

Big Thief, Phoenix, and Rise Against for me!

 

Gotta check out Rise Against and maybe Volumes, Lady Antebellum, and that Planetarium album.

Weird release day.

 

I'll be checking out:

Plantarium
Gov't Mule - Revolution Come... Revolution Go
Cigarettes After Sex - Cigarettes After Sex
The Birthday Massacre - Under Your Spell

But most importantly.

Phoenix - Ti Amo (which I'm stoked for)
London Grammar - Truth Is a Beautiful Thing (been looking forward to this for way too long!)

 

London Grammar and Phoenix are two of my most anticipated of the year so that's all I need.

Strong rec for London Grammar if you like vocally driven music with an unworldly singer (ie. Adele).

I'll also listen to Sufjan, Anathema, Allie X, SZA, Rise Against, Big Thief, Cigarettes After Sex, All We Are, and Katy Perry

 

Metal stuffs not already mentioned:

Exist - So True, So Bound
Foscor - Les Irreals Visions
Necrot - Blood Offering
Merrimack - Omegaphilia
Suffocation - ...Of The Dark Light

 

Phoenix is one of my most anticipated of the year. SO amped for this album.

Diving in now.

 

Phoenix was a nice listen this morning. Vic Mensa's EP was a nice surprise as well. Rancid and Chief Keef are queued up.

 

Big Thief, Phoenix and Sufjan all weekend long.

 

All about that new Phoenix. The three tracks from the speciale are great. Pumped to listen to it after work.

 

Phoenix, allie x, rise against, rancid, katy perry, comeback kid, london grammar

 

I will always be excited about a new Rancid album.

 

Just heard the CbK song with Devin Townsend. What an odd feature but the song is really good! It's called Absolute.

 

Rise Against for sure. I'll be playing the new Manchester single all weekend. And I'll probably get around to Phoenix sometime too.

 

Wait wait, Comeback Kid and Devin Townsend?!

 

Everyone should also check out the debut EP from nyck!! It's gorgeous!

Super into the new Allie X and Big Thief albums. Probably will give the Ani DiFranco record a listen over the weekend.

 

I have a friend who put out an incredible acoustic EP yesterday. (And I think today's her birthday, too! haha)

Anyways, her songs are fantastic and her singing is utterly gorgeous -- very Hayley Williams-esque, but placed into a more folky, honest-confessional context.

Rise Against finally put out a GREAT album..it's been years since I've been able to listen to an album of theirs straight through and enjoy it. Everyone should check it out. Glad they changed up producers too.

 

CIGARETTES AFTER SEX!!!

 

That was my first reaction haha. I'm not sure if the recorded version is on YouTube yet but I heard it on Spotify this morning under "release radar" or whatever it's called. It's a Comeback Kid song with elements of DTP in it. It just takes the track to a whole new level!

Edit: It's on YouTube:

Also, they signed with Nuclear Blast so that's yet ANOTHER blow for Victory. It's funny, I was working with their Victory publicist for an interview and then talks just completely stopped. Now I know why haha
