Release Day Picks this week highlights new albums by Taylor Swift, Pearl Jam, T Bone Burnett, Local Natives, Melvins, Cloud Nothings and The Brother Brothers.
Today, LA’s Local Natives announce their North American tour that kicks off May 4 at BeachLife Festival in Redondo Beach, CA. The 13-date tour will go from New Mexico to Missouri and end in Santa Cruz, CA, with support from New York based alt-pop artist Uwade. The tour announcement follows their 2023 fifth studio album Time Will Wait For No One that arrived via Loma Vista and received critical praise from Billboard, UPROXX, Consequence, Paste and more.
Tele Novella are more Brian Wilson than Hank Williams on Poet s Tooth, a pop band with compositional sophistication waiting to get out of their Austin city limits.
Welcome to the 31st Songs of the Week of 2023. This week Andy Von Pip, Marc Abbott, Mark Moody, Matt the Raven, Scott Dransfield, and Stephen Humphires all helped me decide what should make the list and we settled on a Top 10.
