There are some weeks when I look at The Daily Graboid and just want to roll back into bed because of the staggering amount of releases. It’s overwhelming; and though it’s easy to just jump to the more recognizable releases, there are always gonna be a few hidden gems to be had, which is why I always do this thing every week.
For myself, the latest release from Doves gets the top billing and it’s a wonderful album. I’ve listened to it several times and found myself going from listening to Kingdom of Rust followed immediately by The Last Broadcast. I can’t help but compare the two, and while I can’t say this tops the brilliance of that 2002 record, it certainly stands up on its own.
Other releases I would definitely recommend include Bat For Lashes’ Two Suns, The Thermals’ Now We Can See, The Veils’ Sun Gangs, Gliss’ Devotion Implosion, and The Coathangers’ Scramble.
