Last week saw a swathe of fine releases and they are set to continue as Getintothis’ Simon Kirk earmarks this week’s top new albums.
Another Friday rolls around, folks.
You may think we’re out of things to say, but have no fear, our verbal incontinence remains ever-present.
Last week was a barnstormer for new releases, with Run The Jewels releasing another quality long-player.
So too Modern Nature, who released their lovely second album, Annual, while Muzz – the new project featuring Interpol‘s Paul Banks – very much lived up to the billing and has been on high rotation around these parts for all of this week.
This week doesn’t have as many big names, but the potential for new discoveries is alive and kicking, starting with Ian MacKaye‘s new band, Coriky, who finally release their self-titled debut album.
Of course, there’s plenty more but we won’t spoil it for you.
Lastly, our playlist is back up and running after some technical difficulties over the past couple of weeks. We will keep updating this for you weekly.
For now, it’s happy Friday and enjoy your weekend.
