This week's New Music Friday features new album releases from Fantastic Negrito, Angel Olsen, Horsegirl, Poliça, and Drive-by Truckers. Happy listening!
"Nibbadip" by Fantastic Negrito
Album: White Jesus Black Problems
Description:
“He zips past previous genre assumptions, ripping up any blueprint for how a blues album should sound on this daring and audacious release.“
– American Songwriter
"Big Time" by Angel Olsen
Album: Big Time
Description:
“The country-tinged beauty of this album is a revelation after the grand, gloomy orchestration she summoned for 2019’s All Mirrors and stripped away for 2020’s Whole New Mess, and a rewarding payoff for fans who’ve always known she had a record like this in her. “
– Rolling Stone
"Beautiful Song" by Horsegirl
Album: Versions of Modern Performance
Description:
“Compelling from its first note to its very last, the record presents a band who, yes, are still in their infancy, but clearly know who they are and what that sounds like. “
– NME
"Fountain" by Poliça
Album: Madness
Description:
“Across 31 minutes and just seven songs, Poliça are impeccably focused on ‘Madness’, packaging up their first decade as a band into a neatly formed, bite-sized package. “
– NME
"The Driver" by Drive-By Truckers
Album: Welcome 2 Club XIII
Description:
“Another complex, solid effort from the Drive-By Truckers, one of the great American bands, who are happy to keep on writing songs about trains and people who died on Welcome 2 Club XIII.”
– Glide Magazine
