PRESS PLAY: New Albums out February 18th
Once again we’ve arrived at a particularly bountiful release day. Baltimore duo Beach House deliver their most expansive (and adventurous) set to date; the multi-chapter Once Twice Melody. Reuniting for another round of dusty Lone Star funk, Khruangbin and Leon Bridges‘s Texas Moon serves as the nocturnal counterpart to their 2020 collaboration. Alynda Segarra takes Hurray for the Riff Raff into “nature punk” territory on the organic and urgent Life on Earth.
Roots rockers Sarah Shook & the Disarmers whip up a rousing mood on their third album, Nightroamer. With Don’t Go Throwing Roses in My Grave, Gregor Barnett of beloved NEPA punks The Menzingers makes his solo debut. Death Cab for Cutie, David Byrne, and Japanese Breakfast headline Ocean Child, a star-studded tribute to the songs of Yoko Ono, released just in time to celebrate the iconoclastic artist’s 88th birthday.
