New Albums
My pick of the week:
Clairo – Charm
The third album from indie-pop songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Claire Cottrill was co-produced with Leon Michels (of The Dap-Kings and El Michels Affair), and moves into soft rock and seventies-inspired production.
Remi Wolf – Big Ideas
he second full-length release from Los Angeles alt-pop singer-songwriter.
Seamus O’Muineachain – Liminality
Liminality is the seventh album from Irish composer and producer Seamus O’Muineachain. Recorded over a 2-year period in Thailand, Georgia, and Ireland, Liminality draws on O’Muineachain’s experiences of liminal places; airport terminals, impersonal accommodations, unfamiliar cities and towns. A state of flux is alluded to through compositions marked by brevity, but that search for moments of intamacy and comfort.
Jake Xerxes Fussell – When I’m Called
The American singer and guitarist who plays folk and blues music, with an emphasis on Southern folk songs has also signed to to Fat Possum for his latest.
Sauce Gang Collective – Mustard Melodies
Dublin alternative rock, hip-hop, pop and punk band take inspiration from Blink-182, Bricknasty and Lil Peep.
Cassandra Jenkins – My Light, My Destroyer

Callum Orr – The Trials of Knowing

Bad With Phones – Crash
Debut album of soulful, indie-pop-meets-electro-rap music. The artist name comes from the artist’s 6 month phone-free social experiment and the album was inspired by an actual crash while on holiday in Lanzarote.
Ar Áis Arís – Vol. 2
The Galway label’s volume one featured Plus One’s ‘Bonk’ a track that took off with international touring DJs. Here the producer returns with five more tracks.
The EP opens with saucy summer garage, delivered over quivering bass and a killer vocal hook. Elsewhere, the intensity (and BPM) gets dialed up a notch on more energetic bangers like ‘I Can Live’ and ‘Sweaty’. The EP concludes with dark chuggy reggaeton riddim ‘Zero Chance’, laden with bass and detail – a firm AAA favourite.
R.Kitt – Don’t Stop (Ever Being You) EP
New four-track release on German label Globuli.
Telebox – When Night Turns Into Day EP
Four-track release from Galway alt rock foursome.
When Night Turns Into Day explores a vast plain of emotions felt by the band during their interrailing trip across Europe. It snapshots a series of little moments that would usually go unnoticed. ‘
