Every Friday, we challenge ourselves to sift through new music releases and curate a list of albums we think you should be listening to.
This week kicks off with Glitterer's new album, Rationale, where Ned Russin's (Title Fight) band weaves sludgy riffs and introspective lyricism into a hard-hitting sonic tapestry. Next, MGMT returns with Loss of Life, offering a kaleidoscopic journey through psychedelic landscapes and experimental soundscapes. After a decade of waiting, Job for a Cowboy unleashes Moon Healer, a relentless onslaught of crushing riffs and thunderous percussion, showcasing their tech-death/progressive metal genre mastery. Glaive drops a brand new EP, A Bit of a Mad One, a bold exploration of electronic music infused with infectious energy and innovative production techniques. Lastly, Hurray for the Riff Raff invites us to revisit the past with The Past Is Still Alive, blending folk, country, Americana, and indie rock elements to create a moving musical narrative.
