Colleen "The Tunnel and the Clearing (Thrill Jockey)"

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve been staring at the front page of colleenplays.org for what feels like years. There it is, right on the front… “Working on my 7th album now, which should be available in spring 2021.” I’ve been anxiously awaiting any change to that info as I happen to be a HUGE fan of Cécile Schott’s music. And then, one fateful day earlier this week, like a beacon from above, came THE NEW COLLEEN ALBUM into our inbox courtesy of our friends at Thrill Jockey. Quickly, we asked when it was coming out and we were told May-but, since we know you all love her music as much as we do, they gave us special permission to send the album out super-early. Here it is! The Tunnel and the Clearing is everything you want it to be. Analogue warmth – chilling harmonies, heady beauty, some bloops and bleeps and vocals! I know all anyone needs here is a soft sell, so dig in! (BRM One-Stop)

We Were Sharks "New Low (RTP)"

The We Were Sharks story is one of tenacity and passion, being told with catchy vocal hooks and crunchy guitar riffs. Since 2011 these Canadians have been dedicating their lives to pumping out tunes and tearing apart highways. With a recently solidified five-man lineup We Were Sharks are poised to pop.

Based in Ottawa and collecting members from the far reaches of Eastern Canada, We Were Sharks continue to wield the full force of Canadian alternative music. Through a penchant for blending melodic harmony with powerful dissonance, they continue to produce infectious music. Even though these boys already have a lot of mileage under their belts, their book is far from written.

Storefront Church "As We Pass (Sargent House)"

From Sargent House:

 

Storefront Church, the Lukas Frank helmed Los Angeles-based band has their debut album As We Pass on the way, and today they’ve released the final single from it. “Total Stranger” features Frank’s lush and evocative vocals over melancholy orchestration expressing unshakable love. The song follows the cavernous first single “After The Alphabets” which you can listen to here. DIIV’s Cole Smith is credited as a contributor on both songs as an instrumentalist and co-songwriter. As We Pass, available May 21st via Sargent House is a sweeping artistic statement that paints dark, weathered landscapes paired with Frank’s mournful croon and howls summoned via poignant songwriting that recalls the likes of Roy Orbison, Scott Walker, and Jeff Buckley.
