What Episode Is Betty Skinny Again
Tracks of the Calendar week: new music from Crobot, Joan Jett and more
Ghost's new album Impera may have temporarily given them the official Most Talked About Band In The World This Week™ championship, just new single Twenties could only scramble third position in final week's Tracks Of The Week contest.
Alee of the spooky yet melodic Swedes were Nottingham'southward ever-excellent religious movement/classic rock deviants Church Of The Cosmic Skull – with the similarly first-class I More Step (opens in new tab) – while topping the chart were Bournemouth's Skinny Cognition, who probably triumphed considering they had Phantom Flan Flinger-mode foam flans in their I Wonder video. And there's nothing wrong with that.
So here's Skinny Knowledge again, before we march once again intro the Tracks Of The Week alienation (and don't forget to place your vote below).
Crobot - Amend Times
Rockin' like a rockin' equus caballus made of stone, Better Times comes from Crobot'southward upcoming album, Experience This, which volition be unleashed upon bricks and mortar retail outlets and streaming platforms this coming June 3. The song kicks ass like a mule, if we're immune to say that, and sounds like the soundtrack to the party to end all parties, one involving swimming pools and loud music and dancing girls and bad behaviour and other boisterous things.
Fantastic Negrito - Oh Betty
It seems in that location'southward nothing Fantastic Negrito can't do. He sings, he dances, he grows his own vegetables. And he continues to reshape the blues, this time with a song backboned past a restrained groove that threatens to explode merely never actually does, until it actually does, at the 2'20" mark or thereabouts. Then information technology'southward surprisingly psychedelic and gloriously weird for a while, before heading dorsum whence information technology came. From forthcoming studio concept album and film White Jesus Black Problems, out June 3 via Negrito's very own Storefront Records.
Creeping Jean - Fluorescent Orange Skies
Brighton'south Creeping Jean may be the just band in history to have sold over 7 thousand pairs of Antipodal trainers to fund their album, just it looks like all that time spent in retail may conduct fruit. With refreshingly old-skool production vibes (it hasn't been polished and compressed across sanity's limits like so many mod rock songs), the end consequence is somehow a cross between something recorded while stoned at a villa in the South of French republic in about 1971 and How Bizarre by OMC.
Porcupine Tree - Of The New Twenty-four hours
Of The New Mean solar day initially sounds like a recognisably atypical Porcupine Tree ballad, every bit frontman Steven Wilson volition happily attest. "It'southward a recognisably singular Porcupine Tree carol," he confirms. "That is until you realise that the length of the bars is constantly changing, flipping between confined of regular four/4 time to 3/4, to 5/4 to 6/4, xi/4, so that the rail never settles into any steady fourth dimension." All this wild flip-flopping between time signatures isn't without purpose though, and the vocal build towards a climax that'southward focussed and surprisingly stormy. Excellent.
The Black Keys - Wild Child
Judging past this latest video information technology must be a lot of fun beingness in The Blackness Keys, as the heroic duo reconnect with their bluish collar roots by donning costumes and working at a loftier schoolhouse for a day. Hilarity follows, but, more importantly, some understated rockin' also ensues, as Wild Child chugs forth in soulful, somewhat sassy mode. Dainty horn parps too. New anthology Dropout Boogie is out May 13.
Märvel - Great Man
Mysterious masked Swedes Märvel are back with the 473rd unmarried from their upcoming anthology Graces Came With Malice and, just like the previous 472, information technology rocks like a rocking chair on a rollercoaster. Pure 10009% rock'n'roll, it's a fuel-injected, turbo-charged, overhead camshaft chunk of garage rock with a video that appears to have been shot in a barn. And we fuckin' love barns, so that's extra skilful.
Xander & The Peace Pirates - Leave The Light On
Xander & The Peace Pirates have been around for a while, forever on the edge of Side by side Big Thingness without ever taking that last stride towards more widespread recognition. Will Go out The Light On exist the song that does it for them? We don't know, but it deserves your time considering it'south effortlessly slick and as comfy as a freshly laundered pair of pants with 7% spandex. New album Society Out Of Anarchy will get in on Planet World on May 6.
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - (I'thou Gonna) Run Abroad
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts are releasing their first-e'er audio-visual album later this month, and (I'm Gonna) Run Away – first released on 1981's I Love Rock 'N Roll anthology – is evidence that the stripped-down format suits the possessor of stone'due south best haircut very much indeed than you very much. It's a little bit Stonsey, a touch Johnny Thunders-esque, a smidgen Replacements-ish, and we think you lot'll like it if yous're in possession of a working set of ears.
