Essential Full-Length Releases

Aldous Harding - Party

My first exposure to Harding was back in September, when she opened for Deerhunter in concert. I was immediately blown away both by her music and her unique stage presence. It took a little while for me to find her self-titled debut album on vinyl. Not long after, she announced her follow-up. She's already worked her way up from a New Zealand-based label (she's from the country) to one of the more major of the British indie labels, 4AD. Her first outing with them is spectacular!

Watch: "Imagining My Man"
Watch: "Horizon"

Casey Dienel - Imitation of a Woman to Love

Casey Dienel is better known as White Hinterland, but first released music under her given name. She released her first album, Wind Up Canary, in 2006 before becoming White Hinterland. She's taking on multiple roles in her return to her name, serving as the singer, writer, producer, and engineer on this record.

Listen: "High Times"
Listen: "Thrasher"

Land of Talk - Life After Youth

Land of Talk is a Canadian band fronted by Elizabeth Powell. They first formed in 2006, but have not released new music since 2010's Cloak and Cipher. The band started teasing their return two years ago on their website. Their first album in seven years features vocals from Sharon van Etten on several tracks.

Watch: "This Time"
Watch: "Inner Lover"

The Mountain Goats - Goths

The Mountain Goats have long been well-known for John Darnielle's highly-conceptual lyrics. The singer-songwriter often references his loves in his music; including songs about heavy metal, and an entire album, 2015's Beat the Champ, devoted to his love of professional wrestling. Their latest is inspired by his teenage love of music by 80s goth bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, and Joy Division.

Essential Full-Length Releases

ANOHNI - Hopelessness

ANOHNI has had a long career spanning more than fifteen years. She has previously performed as Antony and the Johnsons, releasing four albums over then years. Hopelessness is her first solo album, and first under a new name. The album covers a range of social and political issues, from drone strikes, to the environment, and the culture of masculinity.

Watch: "Drone Bomb Me"
Listen: "Crisis"

Death Grips - Bottomless Pit

You can't always believe a band when they say they're done. Even though they announced their "disbandment" in 2014, Death Grips has released an album, a soundtrack, and an EP since then. Now, they've released yet another album. The release follows their Interview 2016 EP, released with a strange long-form music video, earlier this year.

Listen: "Giving Bad People Good Ideas"
Listen: "Eh"

James Blake - The Colour in Anything

While I'm often annoyed by surprise releases, sometimes they're just about the best news I can get. That was the case when James Blake announced his third album for release just hours later. On the album, he continues his blend of ambient, post-dubstep, and soul, and he sounds better than ever. The record features old collaborators like Bon Iver and new, Frank Ocean, as well as artwork from Sir Quentin Blake.

Watch: "I Need a Forest Fire" (featuring Bon Iver)
Listen: "Radio Silence"

Julianna Barwick - Will

Julianna Barwick has made a career out of using her own voice as an orchestral instrument, looping and layering it in ways that make you forget that she doesn't use much traditional instrumentation. She continues this work on her third full-length, with contributions from Mas Ysa and Chairlift drummer Jamie Ingalls.

Watch: "Nebula"
Watch: "Same" (featuring Mas Ysa)

Little Scream - Cult Following

I really don't remember how or when I first heard of Little Scream, aka Laurel Sprengelmeyer, but I know that absolutely loved her debut album, The Golden Record. It's been quite a while since that album, five years to be exact. She strays a bit from the sound on that first album. She started with a fairly traditional folk style, but adds elements of pop, avant garde, and funk on Cult Following.

Watch: "Love as a Weapon"
Listen: "Someone Will Notice"
