4 albums released this week you should be listening to right now

Mclusky – The World is Still Here and So Are We

It’s remarkable how a band can wait 20 years between albums and still produce an album that seems like they’ve been practicing for this moment every single day for two decades. Known for their explosive live shows, McLusky manages to convey a similar energy in the studio, even though it can be challenging to capture the essence of exceptional performances in a studio setting – but they come awfully close here.

This song’s titles align well with the band’s style, like “Autofocus on the Prime Detective.” However, its post-hardcore performance packs a punch. Kickstart your day by giving it a listen; it’ll energize you to tackle the issues at work.

Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke – Tall Tales

Beware if the simple style deceives you; this isn’t a drone album. Rather, Thom Yorke’s enchanting vocals harmonize beautifully with the production of Pritchard, resulting in an initially somber but ultimately magnificent experience.

Stand by the album, as you won’t regret it; quite literally! This project is inspiring and satisfying.

PinkPantheress – Fancy That

This latest work of hers has a fuller depth compared to previous projects, yet the bass remains an essential element (as it always does in PinkPantheress’s creations). However, this piece leans more towards pop music. Despite this shift, it doesn’t diminish its appeal, but longtime fans who appreciate her drum and bass style might take some time to adjust to this new direction she’s taking.

Give the “domestic” option a try, and let’s see if it suits your preferences. Chances are, you’ll discover more appealing aspects and won’t be left disappointed by the experience.

billy woods – Golliwog

For those with a strong constitution, this album vividly portrays horror, both in its lyrics and music. While there are certainly beautiful moments (as in every Woods album), the overall feel is intense and grim. What makes it particularly impactful is how genuinely realistic it seems thanks to Woods’ performance.

In my perspective as a devoted admirer, there’s a chilling tale woven around a malevolent character resembling a golliwog, inspired by a story penned by the author in his youthful days. If you hadn’t experienced personal trauma prior to this musical gem, it might leave an indelible mark on you after hearing it.
