New Albums

My pick of the week:

Mabe Fratti – Sentir Que No Sabes

Mexico City-based avant-pop cellist and singer releases a fourth album.

James Blake & Lil Yachty – Bad Cameo

A 10-track collaborative album between the producer and rapper.

Channel Tres – Head Rush

Smooth spoken /rapped vocals and bumping club grooves. Deatures contributions from Estelle, Ravyn Lenae, Teezo Touchdown, Thundercat, Toro y Moi, Ty Dolla $ign and Watr.

Cornelius – Ethereal Essence

The Japanese composer and musician’s latest is on the ambient side. “I gathered songs that have an ethereal feel from the various purposes for which they have been produced over the past few years and I decided to make one album,” Cornelius says. “With the current strange situation in the world and the stressful social life, I feel comfortable with something that fits into the introspection and spiritual world.”

Hiatus Kaiyote – Love Heart Cheat Code

Melbourne Modern jazz and neo-soul band’s latest album on Brainfeeder.

Washed Out – Notes From a Quiet Life

A lot of people hate Washed Out’s Sora AI-generated video sure, but the album it features on has landed.

Boldy James & Conductor Williams – Across The Tracks

Those Griselda lads are a prolific lot.
