Keeping you up to date with the week’s hottest album releases
Artist: The Decemberists
Album: As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again
Label: Yabb Genres: Indie rock, indie pop, indie folk, alt rock
The grand arrangements, deep storytelling and natural themes all warrant the Rousseau esque cover of The Decemberists new album. Their first in six years, they are making up for having their 20-year anniversary marred by the pandemic with exactly the sound that they are loved for.
Artist: NxWorries
Album: Why Lawd?
Label: Stones Throw
Genres: Hip hop, R&B, neo soul
Anderson Paak. forms one half of the power-duo NxWorriesalongside producer and composer Knxwledge. The former manages to be one of the biggest names in the musical world while still pleasing critics and underground melophiles alike. The latter may often avoid the spotlight himself but is the brains behind many a spotlight-demanding song from the last decade. Unsurprisingly, the product of their talents is exquisite.
Artist: James Blake
Album: CMYK 002
Label: CMYK
Genres: Electronic, R&B, UK bass, soul, post-dubstep
Another coveted collaborator and multi-instrumentalist, James Blake, surprised us with an EP on Friday. This digestible set of songs arrives at a time when Blake’s output
is already high, and these may be the most unique and individual of the lot.
