If you don't want to risk missing it, you can also sign up to my mailing list and I'll email it out to you every Friday along with a list of that week's new album and EP releases.

 

Fantastic. I don't have the necessary time to find out new releases beyond my Spotify release radar so this playlist looks great.

Lakes & Dropkick

 

Nice!

 

Not a very happy 4th considering the absolutely horrendous things happening in the US, but maybe some of these albums will distract for a bit.

1. We Lost The Sea — One of the best post-rock bands (instrumental)
2. Thumos — Instrumental post-metal
3. Lakes — Really catchy, ethereal, emo-ish indie pop with male & female vocalists
4. GAUPA — Good stoner metal with plenty of fuzz and songs that build well
5. Wytch Hazel — Old school heavy metal
6. Emberthrone — Pretty good deathcore!

 

Lakes! Really such a solid album, loved seeing them before the get up kids last month as well!
