Sneak Peaks: Upcoming Album Releases 2-3-23 – 2-9-23
Aoife O’Donovan: The Apathy Sessions [Yep Roc] – the Irish folkie has her moments
The Arcs: Electrophonic Chronic [Easy Eye Sound]
Bob Dylan: Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series, Vol. 17 (Deluxe Edition) [Columbia/Legacy] – I can’t quite read it, it seems to be tidying two of his later masterpieces, Time Out Of Mind and Love And Theft, though the 5 CD $130 version seems like much ado about nothing. I will buy it digitally even as I grit my teeth
Crosslegged: Another Blue [self-released]
Deathprod: Compositions [Smalltown Supersound]
Fucked Up: One Day [Merge] – Damian Abraham writes some of the words for the first time on a terrible idea for an album (what if you only had one day to live)
Green Day: Nimrod (25th Anniversary Edition) [Reprise/Warner] – we heard the cover of “Alison” last year and thjough Nimrod is not the album of choice, it is a pretty good album with one huge hit – B
H.C. McEntire: Every Acre [Merge]
King Tuff: Smalltown Stardust [Sub Pop]
Meg Baird: Furling [Drag City]
New Age Doom & Lee “Scratch” Perry: Remix the Universe [We Are Busy Bodies] – let’s just say that now he isn’t with us, Perry is always worth listening to
Oozing Wound: We Cater to Cowards [Thrill Jockey]
Popcaan: Great Is He [OVO Sound] – well, the Jamaican dancehall is always ace and he has Drake’s backing- MOST ANTICIPATED OF THE WEEK
Ruhail Qaisar: Fatima [Danse Noire]
