Any new albums you've been checking out this year?
I'm currently listening to the new Squid. I was really hoping Squid would release their sophomore this year, since I tend to lump them in with Black Country New Road, who released their sophomore last year and their live album this year. I'm on the third track, and it's just as weird and consistent as I expect (maybe even demand) from an experimental rock album. Lemme tell you, finding five-star albums has been impossible up to this point. All the albums people hype up are just a tad underwhelming to me. Until now my favorite was the new Xiu Xiu. This is my top five so far (until I finish this, greatly expecting it to be my new number 1).
1. Xiu Xiu - Ignore Grief
2. Parannoul - After the Magic
3. Lovebites - Judgement Day
4. Jeromes Dream - The Gray in Between
5. Billy Woods & Kenny Segal - Maps
This Squid album is totally for you, Gulfport.
