Friday is album release day and here’s a quick run down of what’s been released today. Check back next week for our favourites.
Billie Eilish – When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
We dubbed this 17-year old’s music as ‘petulant pop‘ back in 2017 and her debut album lives up to that description. A record that basks in its lighter moments and revels in its darker ones. Full review on this week’s podcast.
Blimes – Castles
Blimes is one half of rap group Blimes And Gab and her debut solo album Castles (that came out yesterday) packs a punch.
Good Cop Bad Cop – Joe Carnall and Matt Helders
Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders teamed up with Milburn frontman Joe Carnall on this new original project. Think 808 drums and old school analogue synths.
