Essential Full-Length Releases



Buddy Guy - The Blues Is Alive and Well

At 82, Buddy Guy is proving that it's not just the blues that is alive and well. This is 18th album from the legendary blues man, coming just three years after the Grammy-winning Born to Play Guitar.

Listen: "Cognac" (featuring Jeff Beck & Keith Richards)
Listen: "You Did the Crime" (featuring Mick Jagger)




Christina Aguilera - Liberation

Aguilera was a ubiquitous figure in late '90s and early 2000s pop. She's taken a bit of a break since 2012's Lotus, focusing on her television duties (hosting and acting). She's back with her eighth album, with features from Demi Lovato, GoldLink, Ty Dolla $ign, and 2 Chainz.

Watch: "Fall in Line" (featuring Demi Lovato)
Watch: "Accelerate" (featuring Ty Dolla $ign, & 2 Chainz)




MOURN - Sorpresa Familia

MOURN is a four-piece from Barcelona, Spain. Sorpresa Familia is their third album and follows 2014's Ha, Ha, He!. The album covers a recent difficult time for the band, during which they made mismanagement  accusations towards their previous label. Thankfully, they were able to get out and continue making music!

Watch: "Fun at the Geysers"
Watch: "Barcelona City Tour"




serpentwithfeet - soil

This is the first album from serpentwithfeet, following his 2016 EP blisters. His music is hard to perfectly categorize. He started with a desire to become a classical singer, but fell into neo-soul scenes in Philadelphia. His classical leanings are still prevalent in his style, but with more contemporary instrumentation and more than a little experimentation.

SOPHIE is a Scottish musician and producer. She has produced for a wide variety of pop musicians including MØ, Charli XCX, and Madonna, as well as Let's Eat Grandma, Vince Staples, and Cashmere Cat.

Essential Full-Length Releases



Protomartyr - The Agent Intellect

I annoyed my boyfriend a bit last week when Protomartyr's "Why Does It Shake?" got stuck in my head. I was singing the title refrain over and over, and the lyrics confused him a bit. I finally had to play him the original song. The Detroit-based post-punk band has a foreboding sound that recalls the darker elements of the genre. They are part of an excellent revival of the genre that sounds much different from the British revival more than 15 years ago.

Listen: "Why Does It Shake?"
Listen: "Dope Cloud"




Saintseneca - Such Things

Sometimes a free concert is all you need to get into a new band. Northside, Cincinnati hosts a Rock 'n Roll Carnival every year for Independence Day and Columbus, Ohio-based Saintseneca played this year. Although I didn't see them in person, I could hear their music streaming down the street and loved what I heard (I'm also always a sucker for bands from Indiana and Ohio). It wasn't long until they announced this new album, an excellent set of songs that prove they sound just as great recorded.

Watch: "River"
Watch: "Bad Ideas"




The Zombies - Still Got That Hunger

It's amazing how many bands who got started in the 1960s are still going strong. The British band The Zombies became best known for the hits "Time of the Season" and "She's Not There." The group went through several cycles of breakups and reunions before their last reunion in 2004. This is their third album since that reunion, though just their sixth overall.

Listen: "Moving On"
Listen: "I Want You Back Again"

Essential Full-Length Releases



Jaill - Brain Cream

Jaill released an album in 2010, That's How We Burn, that has remained one of my favorites year over year. This isn't their first follow-up to that record; that would be 2012's Traps, but I was never able to get as much into that album. This latest record comes following some changes for the band; they were dropped from their label, Sub Pop, and much of the band left soon after. They're starting anew, but trying to hold to their unique sound.

Watch: "Getaway"
Listen: "Got an F"



Vince Staples - Summertime ‘06

Vince Staples may be the most interesting and exciting young voices in an era of hip hop dominated by the younger guys. Not content to rap about girls and parties, he hearkens back to earlier days of LA hip hop (he's from LA, by the way) by referencing his life and his community, often discussing the crime and violence that he is exposed to. He has made good on the excitement built with his excellent debut mixtape, Hell Can Wait, with one of the best-reviewed albums of the year.

Watch: "Get Paid"
Watch: "Señorita"



Wavves & Cloud Nothings - No Life for Me

Nathan Williams is keeping himself very busy this year. He released an album with a new band, Spirit Club, earlier this year, contributed to yet another soundtrack for GTAV, and is set to release a new album with Wavves later this year. In addition to all of that, Wavves has partnered with another young rock band for a collaborative album. Wavves and the Cleveland-based Cloud Nothings may not seem to have much in common on paper, but they sound pretty awesome together.
