New Releases for May 3, 2024

CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON CYAN BLUE - STONE WOMAN LP

With the release of her second full-length album, Charlotte Day Wilson provides a captivating musical production, one that is as engaging as it is sonically mesmerizing. Fans of the Toronto native have been eagerly awaiting the follow-up to her 2021 release Alpha, and thankfully she rewarded such patience with Cyan Blue, an album very much worth the wait. Packed with a spectacular range of entrancing melodies and a rather peachy rhythmic groove, this new release marks a significant sonic achievement. - SPILL MAGAZINE


KAMASI WASHINGTON FEARLESS MOVEMENT - YOUNG CD/LP

‘Fearless Movement’ feels like more of a personal piece than ‘Heaven and Earth’, leaning more towards humanism than the spiritualism that has so enraptured Washington in the past. The key to his appeal, though, remains unchanged; he makes music that’s apparently limitless in scope and yet joyously immediate, even to the casual jazz listener. - NME


DUA LIPA RADICAL OPTIMISM - WARNER CD/LP

Lipa’s voice sounds stronger than ever on Radical Optimism. Just listen to the sleek, ABBA-esque single “Training Season” and you can hear these raw, velvety pipes bring a song about mediocre dudes to life. That same voice shines on the closing track, “Happy for You,” which sees Lipa ending a relationship on good terms, with nothing but respect for her ex’s new relationship. The song aches with maturity and grace, and culminates in happy tears. Lipa has bid farewell to disco, but you can still see a flickering of glitter in these new songs. - ROLLING STONE


WITCH VOMIT FUNERAL SANCTUM - 20 BUCK SPIN LP

A good portion of Funeral Sanctum sounds like Witch Vomit’s take on The Nocturnal Silence. “Serpentine Shadows” and “Dominion of a Darkened Realm” may be the more obvious examples. Intentional or not, the strangely smooth and natural melding of melody and tension feels very early Necrophobic-like at times. Compliments to the chefs. Whatever the inspiration, this sound suits them well.

Without a single doubt, Funeral Sanctum is Witch Vomit’s finest (half) hour. A lesser, more risk-averse band would have recorded Abhorrent Rapture Pt. II. Kudos to Witch Vomit for not only trying something different, but succeeding in doing so. - LAST RITES
