The Weekly 7 – new album releases out today including Grimes, Moses Sunmey and more
Another week where hot new releases hit the shelves and Getintothis’ Simon Kirk has you covered with the top picks.
Well, that week went fast.
I know you all are willing the week on just so you can read this. Too egotistical? Sorry, it’s just that Grimes has a new album out and, you know, it kind of doesn’t happen every day. Unlike, say, Guided By Voices.
Yup, the Canadian pop oddity returns with her latest. There’s plenty more great new releases today too – many of which aren’t featured below.
The Humanist project should be worth a listen. Featuring, David Gahan, Mark Lanegan and Ride‘s Mark Gardener. Never been one for super groups but then there is the law of averages, so we’ll see.
Other releases to hold an ear to are newies from Best Coast, Rebecca Foon, plus all you metal heads out there might want to check out Horseneck.
In any case, we’ll get out of your hair. Have a swell weekend.

Grimes
1. Grimes: Miss Anthropocene
4AD
After a lengthy absence, Canadian popstress Grimes returns with a new album through 4AD.
Entitled Miss Anthropocene, it’s said to have some nu metal vibes. Okay, this should be erm, interesting. Interesting is good in this case, though.

2. King Krule: Man Alive!
True Panther Sounds
Following on from last year’s short film, Hey World!, King Krule returns with his third album, Man Alive!
Not many UK artists experienced the acclaim Krule did in 2017. Let’s see where this album takes us, shall we?

Bella Union
Newcastle five-piece, Lanterns on the Lake, return with their brand new album, Spook the Herd.
The album marks the thirteen year milestone for the band, who have released a slew of albums and EPs in this time. Should be good, this.

Greg Dulli
5. Greg Dulli: Random Desire
Royal Cream/BMG
The Afghan Whigs and Twilight Singers main man returns with his solo album, Random Desire.
Dulli doesn’t do love songs, just lust songs and we expect more of the same here. This writer’s recommendation of the week, folks. Can’t wait to listen to this!

Mixing synths and digital processing techniques with spacey guitar riffs, this one is for all you kids who like your folk delivered from left field.
