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’s releases showcase a dynamic range of genres and emotions. Being Dead’s Eels is a quirky, genre-blurring record that feels spontaneous and carefully crafted, melding garage rock, folk, and punk elements into an adventurous and playful sound. Meanwhile, Dolores Forever’s It’s Nothing offers a cathartic take on indie pop with shimmering melodies that tap into raw emotion. Origami Angel’s Feeling Not Found combines intricate guitar work with high-energy emo and pop-punk hooks. The Black Dahlia Murder returns with Servitude, delivering their signature blend of blistering death metal with new vocalist and former lead guitarist Brian Eschbach. Lastly, Naima Bock’s Below a Massive Dark Land is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs, weaving together folk and experimental elements.
