Ben (Conlon) here, checking in with our MD Harrison. Today Harrison looks refreshed and ready for the year to start. He is wearing a black shirt with a piet mondarrin style image emblazoned on the shirt pocket as well as french jail style pants. He looks well put together but we will see how this continues over the course of the year.
What is the Date?
“August 21st, and it is raining.”
What was your favorite album of the last week?
“Midnight love and the sexual healing sessions by Marvin Gay. Recorded when he was making midnight love / sexual healing, has original tracks as well as alternates, vocal mixes and instrumentals.”
Label: jagjaguwar Reviewed by: Harrison Grinnan Good shit. Post-punk, krautrock. I prefer this over their first album, back when they were called Viet Cong.
Carnival Youth - Propeller
Label: Popup
Local Natives - Sunlit Youth
Label: Loma Vista Reviewed by: Harrison Grinnan Better than I expected from them, honestly.
Yohuna - Patientness
Label: Orchid Tapes Reviewed by: Harrison Grinnan The first thing orchid tapes has ever sent us! It's a little slow and less weird than most of their stuff but still fun if your favorite slowdive album is souvlaki but you wish it was slower and made by a girl alone in her bedroom.
Thirty days ago today, some actual live humans started to play this music on WUVT FM 90.7.
Megafauna - Welcome Home
Label: Pirate Press Reviewed by: Harrison Grinnan Austin psych rock. Fun stuff
Crystal Castles - Amnesty (I)
Label: Fiction Reviewed by: Harrison Grinnan Apparently people like this band
The Veils - Total Depravity
Label: Nettwerk Reviewed by: Laura Wollinsky FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKK this rules. Going into this I kind of hated Harrison for giving it to me, but it all worked out in the end. With Total Depravity, The Veils blend ominous tones with catchy melodies and smart lyrics sure to give your séance that extra flare. This album was produced by El-P (Run the Jewels), which is random but also makes complete sense. You should play this.
