Didn't have time to go hunting new music this week. Been listening to Minsk a lot.
You know that J’s nickname all her life has been “Joji, right? She is opening a medical practice called Joji this year.
I've been enjoying the shit out of the Sidewalks and Skeletons you linked last week. So thanks for that. I also missed Covenant two nights ago 'cuz I had to work. Well, I had to get up at 7, deal with my wife's food poisoning, get my kid to school, take a Lyft to the airport with my mother-in-law, discover my flight had been delayed 3 hours thereby making me late for work, bust ass through security, change flights with 7 seconds to spare, get on an earlier flight, take a Lyft to the bike shop, ride the bike to the gold line, ride the bike from the gold line to home, tune the brakes, wrap the handlebars, make it to work 3 minutes late because it was 98 with a 12mph headwind and I got a half-hour late start, and then miss Covenant but I mean, details. Bummed I missed Covenant. But fuckn hell this lineup tho
Edit: Yeah hubski embeds youtbue clips. Telefon Tel Aviv announced a new album is in the works and released a teaser track - standing at the bottom of the ocean. I'm really looking forward to hearing the completed album. If you're not aware they were a couple of friends from school that started making albums together until Charles Cooper died in 2009. Joshua Eustis has since collaborated with others (including as a touring member of NiN) but out of blue announced a new album under the Telefon Tel Aviv name. Their first album is the highlight for me - Fahrenheit Fair Enough A gorgeous, luxurious and complex album. Feels like a perfect album for hanging out with friends in the park on a lazy, warm late spring / cool early summer afternoon or punting in Oxford.
Someone asked me what my favorite album of 2019 was so far, and I realized I've been keeping terrible track of new releases! The two that occurred to me right away were UFOF, the new album by Big Thief, and a very recent EP by a neat band called floral print, but I'm curious of other people's favorites. What am I missing out on?
