New Releases for June 16, 2023
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE IN TIMES NEW ROMAN… - MATADOR CD/LP
Now more than two decades since their formation, Queens of the Stone Age provide new tunes for a new apocalypse with In Times New Roman…. The band has moved away from their roots in some regards, but remain completely the same in others; throughout its ten songs, the new LP takes their unique alternative rock to new dimensions, swapping uptempo rock n' roll jolts for a slow-yet-unnerving new groove. - Exclaim!
LITTLE SIMZ NO THANK YOU - FLO/AWAL CD/LP
On NO THANK YOU she stashes the fanfare and goes back to rap basics, blasting the industry that will claim to have made her but in reality has left her drained. In doing so, she adds her voice to a chorus of Black British artists whose calls for reparations are only getting louder. - PITCHFORK
DEER TICK EMOTIONAL CONTRACTS - ATO CD/LP
They are trying their best to follow their dreams in a world of complicated relationships. Like McCauley sings on the song, “If She Could Only See Me Now,” “Now that I’ve finally been set free / She’d know exactly what she means to me.” Or like D. Ryan sings on the next song, “I keep on running / Running from love.” They switch writers and singers regularly on the album, but the themes of social angst and the fight for love all meld well together, and the production is top notch. - Northern Transmissions
HAND HABITS SUGAR THE BRUISE - FAT POSSUM LP
…with Sugar the Bruise, a record that is not the coming out party that Fun House was but is just as essential in Duffy’s catalog—and was just as freeing to make. Who will overlook the project because it did not have a lead single like “Aquamarine,” which leveled the direction that Duffy wanted to take Hand Habits in? What do we make of a project that has no lyrical throughline within except Duffy’s existence itself? I work for a music magazine, so I know the real answer. But, as a queer person in an industry that is relatively straight and cis, I’m even more interested in Sugar the Bruisethan I was Fun House. There is something beautiful and underserved about a project made after an opus. Where do we run once we’ve scattered ourselves across the table? - PASTE
