New Releases for June 9, 2023

BELL WITCH FUTURE’S SHADOW PART 1: THE CLANDESTINE GATE - PROFOUND LORE CD/LP

All told, Future’s Shadow Part 1: The Clandestine Gate is another staggering achievement in the life and times of BELL WITCH. Their legacy was already set as one of doom metal’s most important bands and while this may not match Mirror Reaper, it is another phenomenal chunk of exercised patience and emotional heft. Do yourself a favour and carve out an afternoon to experience this in full – and then get planning for the whole week you’ll need to process the final, full series once we have it. - Distorted Sound


JANELLE MONAE THE AGE OF PLEASURE - WONDALAND ARTS SOCIETY CD/LP

In a post-pandemic world still tense with the remnants of such unprecedented times, Monáe’s latest record beckons its listeners into a fresh era of delight. Still, the songwriter, rapper and actress didn’t reach this stage overnight. Her ability to stand naked, literally and figurately, in front of the world didn’t come without a a bold inner shift that was achieved through a journey of radical self-acceptance. - NME


JASON ISBELL & THE 400 UNIT WEATHERVANES - SOUTHEASTERN/THIRTY TIGERS. CD/LP

With 13 songs that clock in at an hour, Weatherwaves takes its time. It takes risks, it asks for your patience. Some songs knock you out on your first listen, others are growers. It's a noticeable contrast from its predecessor Reunions, which was one of Jason's most immediate albums to date, and Jason has earned the right to make an album like this. - BROOKLYN VEGAN

FREDDIE GIBBS $OUL $OLD $EPERATELY - ESGN LP/CASSETTE

Gibbs continues to clear his own trail and now he's simply allowed to be himself, armed with the confidence of an artist that's lived a hundred lives toward self-actualization. $oul $old $eparately may not be a slam-dunk thesis statement, the unassailable capper on a storied arc, but it does fit with Gibbs' other stabs at rap immortality; he knows that after you've put in the work, legends never die, and Gibbs, the eternal technician, never stops working. - NPR
