  • NEW RELEASE for the Week of Feb. 26, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now!
    NEW RELEASE for the week of Feb. 26, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! CHAI "WINK" (SUB POP) SP1420 CASS/ LP/ CD May 21 street date. Since breaking out in 2018, CHAI have been associated with explosive joy. At the core of their music, CHAI have upheld a stated mission to deconstruct the standards of beauty and cuteness that can be so oppressive in Japan. Like all musicians, CHAI spent 2020 forced to rethink the fabric of their work and lives. But CHAI took this as an opportunity to shake up their process and bring their music somewhere thrillingly new. Having previously used their maximalist recordings to capture the exuberance of their live shows, with the audiences' reactions in mind, CHAI instead focused on crafting the slightly-subtler and more introspective kinds of songs they enjoy listening to at home. Their third full-length and first for Sub Pop, "WINK" contains CHAI's mellowest and most minimal music, and also their most affecting and exciting songwriting by far. CHAI draw R&B and hip-hop into their mix of dance-punk and pop-rock, all while remaining undeniably CHAI. DINOSAUR JR. "Sweep It Into Space" (JAGJAGUWAR) JAG366 LP/ CD DINOSAUR JR. "Sweep It Into Space (JAGJAGUWAR) JAG366LPC1 LP (translucent purple ripple)" April 23 street date. Here is "Sweep It Into Space", the fifth new studio album cut by Dinosaur Jr.. during the 13th year of their rebirth. Originally scheduled for issue in mid 2020, this record's temporal trajectory was thwarted by the coming of the Plague. But it would take more than a mere Plague to tamp down the exquisite fury of this trio when they are fully dialed-in.

  • Greatest Hits (The Abbey Road Sessions)
    Therapy? – Greatest Hits (The Abbey Road Sessions) (37:25, LP, CD, Digital, Marshall Records, 2020) Therapy? feiern in diesem Jahr ihr dreißigjähriges Bandjubiläum. Um diesen Anlass zu würdigen, haben sich die Nordiren entschlossen, ihre zwölf größten Hits in den Londoner Abbey Road Studios neu aufzunehmen. Therapy?, für all jene, die sie nicht kennen, hatten ihre Hochphase Mitte der 90er Jahre, als sie mit den Alben „Troublegum“ (1994), „Infernal Love“ (1995) und, mit etwas weniger Erfolg, „Semi-Detached“ (1998) die Charts stürmten. An Therapy? ging damals kein Weg vorbei. ‚Nowhere‘, ‚Die Laughing‘ und ‚Screamager‘ gehörten damals genauso zum Standard-Set eines Indie- und Crossover-DJs wieNirvana s ‚Smells Like Teen Spirit‘ oder ‚Killing in the Name‘ von Rage Against the Machine. Seither sind mehr als 20 Jahre vergangen in denen Therapy? neun weitere Studioalben veröffenlicht haben, zuletzt das Albums „Cleave“ im Jahre 2018. All diese Jahre hatte ich die Nordiren aus den Augen verloren, da mich „Semi-Detached“ einerseits nicht wirklich berührern konnte, andererseits, da sich meine musikalischen Vorlieben in eine andere Richtung entwickelten. Umso gespannter war ich nun auf dieses „Greatest Hits“ Album, da ich hoffte, mir mit dieser Platte einen Überblick über die verapssten Jahre verschaffen zu können. Doch leider ist dies mit der vorliegnden Lieder Sammlung nicht möglich, denn Therapy? haben den Titel „Greatest Hits“ wie kaum eine andere Band wörtlich genommen und ausschließlich ihre UK Top 40 Hits auf die Scheibe gepackt. Diese stammen allerdings sämtlichst aus der Frühphase der Band, sprich, von den drei oben genannten Hitalben sowie dem Debütalbum „Nurse“ und der EP „Opal Matra“.
