It might be spring wherever you are, but it’s full-on summer here in SB — and I’m not complaining. On top of that, it’s been a busy AF Monday, so this write-up’s gonna be short (which might be a good thing ‘cause I know how much you love reading these week after week).
We’re hitting that point in the year where a ton of notable records are starting to drop — which means I can’t fit everything in. Sometimes I miss stuff, sometimes labels get it to me late. Case in point: Phoebe Rings, whose latest album Aseurai dropped two Fridays ago. I LOVE JAPANESE CITY POP — and this album screams modern Japanese City Pop, which the world has been seriously lacking.
This week’s Album of the Week is another Sub Pop release (seriously, this label can’t miss right now). The Bug Club’s Very Human Features is pure gold — the perfect “it’s still technically spring but it feels like summer” record. Fun harmonies, hilariously truthful, a little silly — exactly what we all need.
John Maus has a new single out — your New Noize Song of the Week. “I Hate Antichrist” will absolutely get stuck in your head (I’m currently on Day 5).
Speaking of singles — shout out to Kim Gordon for reworking “BYE BYE” into “BYE BYE 25!” — a new version to go along with this past weekend’s “No Kings” protest.
This weekend is Solstice in SB — and it’s gonna go OFF. Pray for me and my non-pagan soul.
