New Releases for May 7th, 2021

MAGGIE ROGERS NOTES FROM THE ARCHIVE LP

“It's a collection of songs she put out on various independently released albums and EPs throughout those years, and it proves that while she always seemed destined for greatness — it took lots of hard work to get that "overnight success."“- NPR

IRON & WINE ARCHIVE SERIES VOL 5 CD/LP/TAPE

“Mostly, though, the things that make Iron & Wine so lovely are here in nascent form. Beam's voice already has the power to rivet the listener to the speaker in awe of the warmth and feeling he transmits with seemingly no effort. His croon feels like the confession of a close friend.” - AllMusic

AMY WINEHOUSE AT THE BBC CD/LP

“Classy and sexy is just one way to describe her distinctive voice. Her smooth Acid Jazz-like music is so much more appreciated live, especially with tracks like “Fuck Me Pumps,” and “Rehab,” where she is bursting with emotion and her voice is full of power.” - Spill Magazine

WEEZER VAN WEEZER CD/LP

“Most of these sonic and lyrical allusions immediately give way to the kind of crisp, automatically catchy power-pop you’d hear on any Weezer album. But that isn’t a betrayal of the metal-love theme, just Cuomo showing us how hard rock fits in with the Beach Boys, the Cars, and Loverboy in the morass of music from that era.” - Rolling Stone

ICEAGE SEEK SHELTER CD/LP

“The band seem to be settling into a form, perhaps the band they were always meant to be. They haven’t lost a sense of punk ferocity, but they’re also becoming more and more adept at a strain of rock music that can feel like some blend of Nick Cave, Britpop, and the Rolling Stones.” - Stereogum

SQUID BRIGHT GREEN FIELD CD/LP/TAPE

“The band veer between genres, styles and moods with abandon, mirroring the frightening, ever-changing political and cultural landscape it was created in. On certain songs… the band lock into the kind of intoxicating art-punk groove that they mastered on 2019 single ‘Houseplants’, while other tracks see them let form melt away and be replaced by avant-garde instrumentals that bring out the band’s jazz leanings.” -NME
