Album Countdown
Fast Jackal’s Lucky 7 2018: Our countdown list of picks for Best Record of the Year with key tracks, album reviews and ratings. Record #7: “All at Once” by the Screaming Females – unique, precision guitar heavy instrumentals. Screaming Females returned this year with their seventh record, “All at Once”. Writing new music has the habit of becoming simply a routine for many musicians at this stage in their career, but there is nothing routine about this particular record. With Marissa Paternoster leading as vocalist and guitarist, this three piece band recorded their most developed and overall best album to date towards the beginning of 2018. This record shines incredibly brightly among the others in their sprawling catalogue, and sets itself apart in unique and surprising ways. “All at Once” is composed of precise guitar work, which builds on itself throughout each song while simultaneously driving its listeners senses to the edges of their seats and beyond. This lively and altogether inviting guitar work plays in combination with vocal performances that rival top performers in a varied handful of genres: garage rock, punk, and punk inspired music everywhere. Our Rating: 8.5/10 Key Tracks: I’ll Make You Sorry, Black Moon, Soft Domination, Glass House, Fantasy Lens Record #6: “Young & Dangerous” by The Struts – commanding high energy attention. The Struts, “Young and Dangerous” proved to listeners this year that the band isn’t just a rock n’ roll novelty act. Demanding to be taken seriously, The Struts released an album that commanded the attention of 2018, long-time and new listeners alike. -
Smörgåsbord: Lucy Dacus Displays Her Range with New EP “2019”
Smörgåsbord: Lucy Dacus displays her range with new EP “2019” graphic by Jennifer Ren Indie rock singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus has been steadily climbing her way into the spotlight. Her “2019” EP dropped November 8, capitalizing on her streak of popularity. Last year her sophomore record “Historian” hit #39 on the UK Independent Albums chart. She also debuted the band boygenius with fellow indie musicians Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker to widespread acclaim. Most recently, on the same night of her EP release, Dacus opened for alternative pop star Lana Del Rey’s live show at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, and was invited to perform her song “Night Shift” during the show itself. In such a time when critics and fans alike are singing Dacus’ praises, her latest work only compounds her relevancy. “2019” is a collection of three original tracks and four covers, each themed around holidays or other days of the year significant to Dacus. Over the course of its namesake year, Dacus released almost every song close in date to its respective inspiration. The exception was the EP-exclusive “Fool’s Gold,” a melancholy tribute to New Year’s. She started off this project back in February, releasing a cover of the romantic classic “La Vie Smörgåsbord: Lucy Dacus displays her range with new EP “2019” En Rose” for Valentine’s Day. This song has been performed and recorded by many since its original release in 1947, but Dacus’ take is unique to her style and sound. She utilizes the guitar-driven indie rock that she built her name off to turn the popular cover into a track that could have been an original. -
Zola.’ (AP) Song of the Summer
ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Music Dacus sings young love Cat album falters at fi rst but ends strong By Mark Kennedy ot to be totally catty, but Doja Cat’s third album Nstarts poorly. The first four songs — “Woman,” “Naked,” “Payday” with Young Thug and “Get Into It (Yuh)” — are half-baked tunes mimicking beats and vocals from Nicki Minaj or Rihanna. None are note- worthy. It’s depressing. What happened to the artist behind 2019s “Hot Pink,” a sonic breath of fresh air? What happened to the Doja Cat whose electric performance of “Say So” at the Grammys was reminiscent of Missy Elliott’s futurism? Just wait. The fi fth song, “Need to Know,” is a superb, steamy sex tape of a song (with Dr. Luke co-writing and producing) and the sixth, “I Don’t Do Drugs” featuring Ariana Grande, is airy and confi dent with heav- enly harmonies. “Love to Dream” follows, a slice of dreamy pop, and then The Weeknd stops by on a terrifi c, slow-burning “You Right.” Cat The Cat is back. From then on, the 14-track “Planet Her” rights itself with whispery pop songs and the envelope-pushing “Options” with JID, climaxing with the awesome “Kiss Me More,” the previously released single with SZA that has a Gwen Stefani-ish refrain and must be considered a strong contender for This image released by A24 shows Riley Keough, (left), and Taylour Paige in a scene from ‘Zola.’ (AP) song of the summer. Despite the weak start, Doja Cat fulfi lls her promise on “Planet Her,” with an exciting, unpredictable style and a vocal ability that can switch from buttery sweet- Film ness to cutting raps. -

Indie Mixtape HQ Is the Third 2011
:: View email as a web page :: In conversation, Phoebe Bridgers speaks in a deadpan SoCal accent and punctuates her blunt and hilarious observations with generous amounts of curse words. She sounds, in other words, utterly unlike her music, which tends to be quiet, contemplative, and gorgeous. Because of her gently murmuring vocal style — "I don’t sing with a lot of emotion, it’s almost an apathetic singing voice," she confesses — Bridgers tends to be cast as yet another sad-sack singer-songwriter out to jerk every last one of your tears. It’s precisely that image that made her 2017 debut Stranger In The Alps a slow-burn sensation, setting in motion a promising career that was further bolstered by her participation in two indie supergroups: Boygenius (with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker) and Better Oblivion Community Center (with Conor Oberst). On her latest album, Punisher, due out on Friday, Bridgers goes deeper and weirder, writing with uncommon insight about the millennial condition. Check out Uproxx’s interview with her here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" And The Beginning Of The 21st Century OPENING TRACKS HAIM This infectious and frequently canny pop-rock trio is known for making fun sing-along jams with splashy choruses that evoke the glory years of FM and Top 40 radio. They also have a good sense of humor, as evidenced by the title of their forthcoming LP due next week, Women In Music Pt. III. LISTEN MICHAEL STIPE KHRUANGBIN The venerable R.E.M. -
