New Releases for October 4th (10/4/24)
"Leon is the highly anticipated fourth album from Grammy Award-winning recording artist, songwriter, and performer Leon Bridges. With 13 tracks featuring Leon’s signature storytelling and a unique blend of organic genre alchemy, Leon is his most poignant, powerful, and personal work to date. He takes fans on a trip through the heart of Ft. Worth he knows best, the things he holds dear, and the people and places that shaped him. Featuring production by Ian Fitchuk (Beyonce, Noah Kahan), Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves), and Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), Leon describes the album as 'somewhat of a self-portrait… I'm excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I'm from, with all of you. I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.'"

"Cutouts, the latest album by The Smile (a side project of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner), continues the experimental and genre-blurring approach of their previous work. The album, recorded during the same sessions as their earlier release Wall of Eyes, is a more playful and expansive project, featuring 10 tracks that showcase the band's restless creativity.
While there are nods to Yorke and Greenwood’s Radiohead roots, the album stands out with its off-kilter rhythms, funky grooves, and unpredictable energy. Tracks like 'Zero Sum' offer experimental, lopsided beats, while 'Colours Fly' explores Egyptian scales with a desert-blues vibe. The album’s opener 'Foreign Spies' contrasts ethereal synths with haunting vocals, setting a surreal tone.
Overall, Cutouts feels freer and more joyful than some of their previous releases, filled with moments of complex musicianship that still remain accessible and infectious."

James) was in his early 20s, the album gained critical acclaim both upon release and retrospectively (10/10 Pitchfork review, #2 Best Ambient Album of All Time, 4 star Rolling Stone review +more). Aphex Twin and SAW II’s influence continues to grow and take new meaning across generations."

"THE PLAIN TRUTH=we drifted through it, arguing.every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.we sat down together and wrote it in one room,and then sat down in a different room, recording.NO TITLE= what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? what context? what broken melody?and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile.the sun setting above beds of ashwhile we sat together, arguing.the old world order barely pretended to care.this new century will be crueler still.war is coming.don't give up.pick a side.hang on.love."
