Weekly Releases: 03.22.2024

Here’s a list of 30 notable new releases for the week of March 22nd, 2024. Please refrain from immediately jumping into the comments letting me know how much I suck for omitting a fusion dungeon synth polka band from Kyrgyzstan (I can deal with it if you wait at least a day). Genres/labels are best guesses based on cursory Googling and should not be taken seriously. Some Bandcamp embeds are included. This is the Little Caesars Hot-n-Ready Principle: instead of picking two between Hot, Ready, and Good, you have to pick 2 from Some Embeds, Some Information, and Exhaustive List of Everything That Could Possibly Be Released This Week Complete with Hyperlinks Everywhere. Yaaas, queen! Slay! Live, laugh, love. Please feel free to request reviews for any of the following albums from staff and/or contributors. Or don’t, whatever. I’m not your mom. Live your best life. YOLO.

Scheumke

NGL, love that addition. I usually check a song by most on Spotify to see if any peeks my interest, this is way easier :D

Absolutely. The bandcamp links are great!

Ladies week I guess...Lenker, Holter and Waxahatchee

Will also check the old guard of Jesus and Mary Chain and Elbow

Off the list:

Starless - Returning Home (collaboration album with members of Love and Money, The Blue Nile and The Bathers)
Hooverphonic - Fake Is the New Dope

Big hopes for Lenker and the Starless album, though the Klaus Johann Grobe and Waxahatchee could surprise me

DadKungFu
03.19.24

Looking forward to Waxahatchee and Holter the most here, should be a pretty good week.

Pikazilla
03.19.24

Waxahatchee gonna slap hopefully. Adrianne Lenker on the other hand is begging for a 1 with that horrid artwork.

someone
03.19.24

love the addition of samples where available. keep that for the future, please please

bighubbabuddha
03.19.24

Cannot wait for new Lenker

Dedes
03.19.24

Future folk? Is this a niche thing or just some sort of odd descriptor? Either way my interest is goddamn peaked

Zakusz
03.19.24

Awesome new format with the embeds!

Sunnyvale
03.19.24

Man, definitely my most anticipated release week so far in 2024 (and might be the biggest of the year in full): Adrianne Lenker, Restorations, and Waxahatchee are the headliners, but a lot of interesting lower profile artists for me as well.

Project
03.19.24

Barely Civil was a pleasant surprise

artificialbox
03.19.24

Adrianne Lenker, Blanket, Waxahatchee… damn its gonna be a good friday.

someone

someone
03.19.24

btw while we're at this updating of the weekly radar, if it were possible, maybe also make the titles embedded with url to the album profile. just so that we can click on the name and be directly forwarded to the album page

someone
03.19.24

Cassie Kinoshi's seed. - gratitude (philharmonic jazz)
Altar of Betelgeuze - Echoes (big boomin cock'n'balls death metal)
Acathexis - Immerse (the most engrossing bm you've heard probably)
Soft Loft - The Party and the Mess (indie)
Artificial Language - Distant Glow (mathematical alt-rock)
Sam Evian - Plunge (Big Thief apparently)

Damn what a fucking week!

Gracias !

Purpl3Spartan

Hyped for new blanket

nightbringer
03.19.24

Doompop, will check.

Willie

For those that don't know (which is probably just about everybody) but care (which is probably only a handful), the Habitants release is René Rutten of The Gathering playing Ethereal Wave / Doompop / Shoegaze. I've also seen it described as Trip Rock. It has a female vocalist... kind of reminds me a bit of Souvenirs and Home from The Gathering with more dream pop.

Demon of the Fall
03.20.24

I started reading that and assumed I would care 0%, by the end I care 100%...

so thanks Willie! I will check anything even the slightest bit Souvenirs adjacent so this seems like an essential peek

Demon of the Fall
03.20.24

as I was scanning through the list of releases "Habitants" had caught my eye, yet I imagine this may not have developed into an actual check without your guidance

Voivod
03.20.24

New Critical Defiance album on March 22.

https://unspeakableaxerecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-search-wont-fall

DoofDoof
03.20.24

Critical Defiance kept on being put back, quite like them

SlothcoreSam
03.20.24

Don't sleep on Restorations, their singles have been great.

DoofDoof
03.20.24

cheers Sloth, will check

alexslavco
03.20.24

Unreal week. Waxahatchee, Lenker and Restorations are all no brainers. Elbow, Blanket and Barely Civil should be worth checking too based on singles. And I am very curious about Francis of Delirium, they could be a newcomer of the year.

Willie
03.20.24

@Demon of the Fall: Did you get a chance to check it out?

neekafat
03.20.24

that Habitants single is great

AlexKzillion
03.21.24

apparently matt champion of brockhampton fame is releasing his debut solo album tomorrow

WatchItExplode
03.22.24

Sweet. I am completely ready for a Francis of delirium full length

henryChinaski
03.23.24

the addition of the bandcamp links is awesome!

evilford

I miss thenotrap :-(

Egarran

He's says he's not my mom, but I disagree.
