Albums in Stores – Apr 5th, 2024 • Page 2

Massive absolutely MASSIVE release day for me:

Bayside
The Black Keys
J. Cole
Dustin Kensrue
Vampire Weekend

Also, can someone please tell Tate that Kanye West is a nazi and should really stop being promoted on a site that is supposed to have good morals?

 

Also how could I forget Medium Build

 

Lots to check out today! Vampire Weekend, Bayside, and Khruangbin chief among them. I'll check out Medium Build and Katie Pruitt based on comments here — stoked to have some new shit to dive into.

sleepmakeswaves isn't out til next week tho

 

Checking this out based on your description!

 

Dustin Kensrue
Stars Hollow
Sinkane
Vampire Weekend
Modest Mouse Anniversary release

 

Few things here.

One, I really dislike when people call me "Tate." My name is Jason.

Two, this post is an automated script that grabs the current releases that are coming out from various sources including the spreadsheet from helloiamzach. It's not curated. I don't post about or promote Kanye West, haven't since 2021, and even then it was about album sales.

Third, I find this kind of public "callout" unhelpful. If you have a question, messaging or emailing me is super easy. However, when making "supposed to have good morals" comments (which I think is a completely different conversation when discussing consuming art), I think doing so right after talking about Vampire Weekend a little strange given the accusations surrounding Ezra (not to mention the transphobic lyrics on the J.Cole album). Given that nuance, and that I don't believe people talking about problematic art is actually a bad thing, I hope this answers the question.

 

Thanks for the Medium Build and Katie Pruitt recs. Both fantastic.

 

e: missed that jason already covered this lol

anyway, Bayside, Erra, Riley!, Alpha Wolf, Stars Hollow, Amblare, red sun, and sleepmakeswaves this week for me. Currently checking out the Between You & Me EP, it's pretty solidly executed but generic pop-punk, might hit the spot while the weather picks up. I'll also be checking out the Dustin Kensrue, Black Keys, Strung Out, and Hawkwind albums, but don't really anticipate digging any of them lol.

 

Dustin Kensrue. So good love Cowboy western old man tunes.
If you’re a fan check out the Starflyer 59 album The Changing Of The Guard. Similar vibes.

 

Thanks for the heads up, didn't know the album was coming today!

 

I’m sorry I’m getting lazy

 

the new novo amor record is everthing.

also beatenberg, who are a south african band, released an amazing record today as well.

 

I don’t remember ever listening to Cock Sparrer before, but they showed up in my “Music for You” section on Apple Music and I am really digging it.

 

Fight Fair's final EP from 2011 dubbed Broken is on streaming for the first time, remastered by Stu McKillop (Daggermouth)

 

Nice! New record is pretty solid. Enjoy!
