More Adventurous: Albums to Listen to #6 (St. Vincent, Justice, Hovvdy)
Albums that I'm listening to the week of April 29.
As we all recover from the hangover of The Tortured Poets Department (more on that on Thursday), we’re back on business as usual. This week, I do believe that I’ve truly fallen in love with two new artists (Hovvdy and Laufey), while also diving into new releases from more well-established musicians, who I have some more familiarity with.
These are the albums that I’m listening to this week.
St. Vincent – All Born Screaming
The follow-up to 2021’s underwhelming Daddy’s Home has arrived. To be frank, I did not realize that Annie Clark was gearing up to release another album until I saw the Pitchfork review on the eve of the album’s release. The fiery album cover and artwork (plus an opening song called “Hell is Near”) definitely make it seem up my alley. Following the departure from the anthemic pop of my favorite St. Vincent record MASSEDUCTION, hearing her embrace some grooves on songs like “Broken Man” and “Flea” definitely makes this an exciting record to sink my teeth into. Hearing the ways that she can take a generally softer song and let it swell with a sort of Nine Inch Nails flair is certainly exciting.
