New Releases for April 8th, 2022

JACK WHITE FEAR OF THE DAWN CD/LP

Fear Of The Dawn is easily White’s heaviest solo album. The magnificent title track, with its rumbling low-end guitar groove, might as well be Queens Of The Stone Age. White often unloads nasty guitar riffs tweaked by wacky harmonic pitch-shifting, usually backed by heavy straight-ahead beats.” - Stereogum

FATHER JOHN MISTY CHLOE & THE NEXT 20TH CENTURY CD/LP/TAPE

Chloë And The Next 20th Century, takes the topic of decay and soars with it. For all the smoky alleys and dimmed lounges it evokes, the record is one of the more hopeful and modest Father John Misty releases to date… It’s a late-night stumble through the backdoors of infatuation, the trippy layers of history, and Tillman’s sometimes surprising musical influences.” - The AV Club

WET LEG WET LEG CD/LP

“Wet Leg have certainly got people listening, and by channelling their sense of humour and showmanship into a series of tracks that are far more nuanced and three-dimensional than the infuriatingly repetitive song that made their name, they’ve ensured their debut album is well worth hearing – again and again and again.” - The Guardian

ORVILLE PECK BRONCO LP

Bronco is so bold and colorful, it’s as if it was written with the silver screen in mind. The escalation of scale feels less like an attempt to dive into the country mainstream than the sign of an idiosyncratic artist seizing all available opportunities to stretch his eccentricities to their limits.” - Pitchfork

TOOL FEAR INOCULUM LP

“On Fear Inoculum, Tool’s first album in 13 years, the band remain defiantly contrary to the auto-tuned, digitally-quantized world in which we now live. They continue to blur the lines between art, psychedelia, alt metal, and prog rock with undiminished curiosity and skill.” - Spin

KAE TEMPEST LINE IS A CURVE CD/LP

“Although frequently dazzling, the record deals in simple terms, the songwriter-poet’s slick and direct vocal always front-and-centre over spacious and emotive production from frequent collaborator Dan Carey. Tempest’s unique brand of UK rap is strongest when their focus is set on the small things, from which they’re able to extract a rich emotional palette.” - NME
