Yes, definitely a larger week volume-wise. Some interesting releases. I'm high on Westelaken, and will also check The Killers out of curiosity.

Awesome week. I'll review Incantation and Cytotoxin (MASSIVE). Expander is also great, maybe I'll review it too.

dmathias52

Two others to check:

H.C. McEntire - Eno Axis (Country)
Sub Jakobsen - Temporary Soothing (Singer/Songwriter)

Those two and Everything Everything give three potential AOTY this week alone.

dmathias52

Siv* not sub

Ecnalzen

I want that Blues Pills album to be good, but I do not have high hopes after the pre release material they put out.

Have had trouble getting into Everything Everything in the past for whatever reason but wow Violent Sun is so lovely

Bright Eyes. Stoked.

We'll see about Declan McKenna. Last album was fucking killer, but I feel like it was luck.

Slex
08.21.20

Man, P4K's Killers review is like, almost early-mid 2000's P4K awful

Dewinged
08.21.20

"Everything Everything got pushed back to November 9th apparently . . ."

Aaah that explains my confusion this morning. Thanks!

JohnnyoftheWell
08.21.20

Lmao Slex, some quality frontman fanfiction going on there

"Flowers may even own a stack of CD-Rs on which songs with gated drums and synth strings compete with a singer determined to outsing and out-hair them both: bands like, who knows, Survivor. In other words, Flowers likes the tacky ’80s"

tbh I'm kinda jealous of whatever it is that makes a writer come up with this level of romanticised bedroom pulp

henryChinaski
08.21.20

Interesting week for sure. Artwork for The Killers is sweet!

Scheumke
08.21.20

Some very nice artwork here. And then there's the goat...

TheSupernatural

There's a debut album out by punk/emo band Be Well worth checking out
