DEAL, KIM NOBODY LOVES YOU MORE (ORANGE VINYL) (INDIE EXCLUSIVE EDITION)
4AD
We honestly couldn't be more excited for this solo KIM DEAL debut, many years in the making and following THE BREEDERS' 2018 return - as well as their tour support of OLIVIA RODRIGO - both of which thrust DEAL and her bandmates back into the public eye. Some of the oldest recordings here stretch back to 2011, as well as a lot of recordings with STEVE ALBINI at Electrical Audio in 2022. "Nobody Loves You More" is an arresting combo of chamber pop, heartfelt balladry & dub experimentation, all tied together by DEAL's recognizable voice (which doesn't appear to have changed a bit). Featuring help from BREEDERS bandmates KELLEY DEAL and JIM MacPHERSON among others, this comes OBVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED!

CURE SONGS OF A LOST WORLD (180g)
Polydor
After 16 long years Robert Smith & the band has delivered an instant classic with "Songs of a Lost World." Many of these songs were played on tour the past few years & we were obsessively listening to live versions of YouTube for months after. Musings on aging & death are the main themes here with plenty of doom, gloom & darkness to go around. Simon Gallup's incredible bass playing leads most of the songs & Robert's voice sounds much more youthful that it rightfully should. This album sits nicely next to "Disintegration" & "Pornography" & the long, jammed out intros have a post-rock/Mogwai esque sound. No doubt one of the best albums of 2024 & one of the best records we've heard the past few years to be honest. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION POSSIBLE.

MIDWIFE NO DEPRESSION IN HEAVEN ("RED APPLE" VINYL)
Flenser
Over the past few years the Colorado based musician Madeline Johnston aka MIDWIFE has made some of our favorite records. "No Depression In Heaven" is her 4th album. Madeline is a true master of minimal composition with songs that are mostly just guitar & voice with some occasional drum boxes & synth. Her songs are filled with longing & sadness for people & things that disappear as we live our lives. Songs like "Vanessa", an ode to her dying van or "Killdozer", a song about Marvin Heemeyer getting revenge on the town of Granby, CO. by destroying as much of it with his suped-up bulldozer before committing suicide. There's a great version of the Roland S. Howard song "Autoluminescent" which she really makes her own here. Another amazing album from MIDWIFE. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
