New album releases this week from Caribou, Soccer Mommy, Wasted Shirt and more.
Caribou returns to the fold along with many other great new releases this week and Getintothis’ Simon Kirk has the details.
We say it all the time but we’ll say it again. Happy Friday!
It’s been a long week folks but we’re happy you stopped by to stick your head in here for a look.
Yup, happy Caribou day, people. There seems to be an enclave of Caribou aficionados in Liverpool unlike anywhere else, really. It’s a good thing, don’t worry – we’re not judging.
Like every other week, there’s more to whet the appetite, too.
This writer’s looking forward to what Soccer Mommy has up her sleeve with her color theory. There’s plenty of other great stuff below to sink your fangs in to as well.
So, enough rambling, let’s get down to it.
Below are our top 7 picks for this week. Be safe and enjoy your weekend.

Caribou
1. Caribou: Suddenly
Merge
Ontario-born Dan Snaith releases his first Caribou album in six years with Suddenly.
Suffice to say, there’s a fair bit of excitement over this one.
A full tour is to follow and you can find all the details about Cairbou‘s forthcoming Liverpool show here.
Real Estate
2. Real Estate: The Main Thing
Domino
Real Estate are back with their latest album, The Main Thing, which follows 2017’s underrated In Mind.
The Main Thing is mooted as the band’s most inspired and self-aware to date. The album was produced at upstate New York’s Marcata Sound.
The Orielles
3. The Orielles: Disco Volador
Heavenly
M62 free spirits, The Orielles, return with their second album, Disco Volador.
The album was recorded at Stockport’s Eve Studios with Marta Salogni (Liars, Björk, The Moonlandingz). Excited? We are, too.
Soccer Mommy
4. Soccer Mommy: color theory
Loma Vista Recordings
Sophie Allison, known better to us as Soccer Mommy, is back with her new album, color theory and if it’s anything as good as her last record, Clean, then we’re in for a treat.
Fans of Weyes Blood‘s Titanic Rising may have arrived at the right place here.
Crime and the City Solution’s Paradise Discotheque; a lost treasure by an overlooked band
Lightning Bolt’s Brian Chppendale is one half of Wasted Shirt
5. Wasted Shirt: Fungus II
Famous Class
Psych scuzzer, Ty Segall, and Brian Chippendale of Lightning Bolt (pictured above to your right) join forces as Wasted Shirt.
Fungus II could be anything, but one thing is for sure. If you like a bit of chaos, then this one’s for you.

The album is said to be a collaboration with visual artist, Jesse Draxler. Night time sound scapes right here.

They call it future folk. We’ll let you decide what to make of it.
