Belated New Music Friday (on a Monday)
Aug. 1st, 2022 11:27 pmStared falling asleep half-way through writing this and then I just didn't post it because ...life. I'm feeling a little better about everything, so I'll post again this week to catch people up, but I wanted to get this out first since I started it Friday and it was just sitting in my drafts waiting for me.
New music video for Halestorm's "Wicked Ways" off their new album. About a week ago my friend and I got to see them at an outdoor concert, and as usually, they were amazing. (Also at that concert learned about a Mexican all-girl band called The Warning that is VERY GOOD. Lzzy continues to kill on vocals, this is great.
Maybe you're a little over the "Running up the Hill" covers, so let me get you a new cover that I'm currently obsessing over. It's Journey's "Separate Ways" by Jonathan Young w/Annapantsu & Matt Heafy. I have listened to this so many times in the last day or so. So many. This is one of my favorite Journey songs, hands-down and I feel like they kill this Metal-ized version of these.
There's this absolutely beautiful Tiny Desk Concert at NPR with Ludovico Einaudi, a Italian pianist who both Matthew and I have fallen in love with. His music is so lovely and I could listen to hours and hours of his playing.
There's a new remix of "nothing is safe (remx)" from clipping. (Daveed Diggs hip-hop bad.) This song was already fantast, but this version just levels it up a little. And it's sitting on a new EP of 3 other songs worth a listen if you've got the time.
There's also a new EP from VULKOVI who I mentioned a few months ago from their presence on Bandcamp. They put out a new six song EP this week that's just as good as we heard before. You can listen to that from the Lab Records page here.
There are so many new albums out right now. Lizzo, Beyonce, King Princess, Maggie Rogers, Haley Kiyoko, Em Beihold, .clipping (as mentioned above), Dawes, Murder by Death... that's not everything but it's what I can think of off the top of my head. It's a lot.
Have you listened to any of the new albums out from last week? Or anything else? Let me know!
