New Releases for March 29, 2024
SHABAZZ PALACES EXOTIC BIRDS OF PREY - SUB POP LP
Exotic Birds of Prey maintains an unsettling vibe as it wanders through hip-hop subgenres and warps them into abstractions of themselves. “Exotic BOP,” for one, feels chaotic and claustrophobic, with cavernous synths blurring the edges around guest Purple Tape Nate’s monotonously simple vocal melody. The glitched-out “Goat Me” similarly features reverb-drenched interjections from Cobra Coli buried beneath a spacious cloud-rap beat. - SLANT
RIDE INTERPLAY - WICHITA/PIAS CD/LP/CASSETTE
What’s most apparent about Interplay is how it doesn’t sound like any other Ride record, yet at the same time is an album unmistakably created by Oxford’s finest. Whether that be down the instantly recognizable voice of Gardener and fellow guitarist/vocalist Andy Bell or the experimental nature throughout its compositions is up for debate. But what cannot be contested is the way the album oozes with a confidence and sensibility that suggests its creators know this might just be the finest collection of songs they’ve released since their debut, Nowhere, back in 1990. - UNDER THE RADAR
