Music to Check Out (Week of 4/10)
Kendrick, Future Islands and more
Albums worth listening to this week, check em out!
1. DAMN. by Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick's new album. It's not the easier listening of good kid, m.A.A.d city, but it's definitely more accessible than untitled unmastered, and probably moreso than To Pimp A Butterfly. My fav is "PRIDE."
Favorite Tracks:
2. Love in the 4th Dimension
Love in the 4th Dimension is a quintessential British indie rock album, in a good way. It's not breaking new ground, but it's catchy and I love the vocals. "Sucker" is my top pick.
Favorite Tracks:
3. Rules by Annie Hardy
Very raw album. Annie Hardy is at her best when she's belting it out (see "Shadow Mode"). Other tracks tease at a danceability ("Go Hey Ru Ku") but never really deliver. Regardless, a moving album.
Favorite Tracks:
4. At What Cost by GoldLink
GoldLink's got flow. Really impressive debut album with good beats and a few nice r&b tracks thrown in ("Herside Story").
Favorite Tracks:
5. The Far Field by Future Islands
To be perfectly honest, I can't tell the diffence between 90% of Future Islands songs. This album doesn't differentiate, but, they generally have a good sound and it's worth a listen.
