Album Of The Week: Britney Spears 'Glory.' Released in 2016. This album got very little play at first. However, it's the kind of album that grows on you.
Yes, it's pop candy but the sound is very fresh and unique. It's very artsy. You also get to hear Ms. Spears' singing voice in a real, raw way.
We have a brand new #AlbumOfTheWeek from The Lathums with From Nothing To A Little Bit More! Growing pains and unapologetic ambition link arms and face the future together on The Lathums’ emotionally supercharged second album, From Nothing To A Little Bit More, released today on Island Records. Tearing another page from the picture book singer and songwriter, Alex Moore’s twenty-something life of love, loss and hard-won wisdom, the band celebrates the album’s release with a video for raucous love song and new single: Lucky Bean.

There are 2 copies available of the first ep at our local #recordshop @hookedonphono #deaddropEP was released in #january2019 and was recorded at @saevancouver #studioa in #northvancouver and in my home studio on a @allenandheath #zedr16firewire A beautiful console that I've used on all the music I’ve made under this moniker. If you are in the #burnabyheights area stop by and pick up a copy. In 2019 the EP received an #albumoftheweek in the @georgiastraight “You could say that Vangelis was trying to evoke a bleak future with his Blade Runner score, and Glove and Ghost does its best to conjure up a paranoid past. It’s almost like the antithesis of vaporwave’s blurry VCR–era nostalgia. (Georgia Straight)” I’m still working on the @gloveandghost project. Many other things have taken priorities in the past few years. Yet somehow I’ve managed to release almost 20 songs! I wouldn’t do it any other way. Expect new glove and ghost music in 2023! #hookedonphono #deaddropEP #gloveandghost #electronicmusic #synthesizers #synthesizergoodness https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBz7AEPOtY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
People, myself included, love a good spectacle. We want to be entertained. The Belgian alt-rock duo of Lovelorn Dolls does tell a great story with”Deadtime Stories” which will be released at the end of this week.
The band’s fourth album is perfect for fans of Tim Burtonesque Gothic rock and metal bands like Stolen Babies or Lacuna Coil. There’s a theatrical element to their music that I love,…
James Blood Ulmer- Are You Glad To Be In America? (Rough Trade 1980)
An extraordinary, outraged, indignant, full driven punk-funk- jazz revolution captured on vinyl. After stints with Art Blakey, Joe Henderson and Paul Bley, Ulmer joined Ornette Coleman and there began his exploration of guitar harmolodics. This record confused and confounded critics at the time – it raged too hard for the jazz police and was too fractured to be simply funky- but forty years on it remains expansive and boundary pushing.
Side one delivers a prolonged explosive rush from the opening neurotic funk of ‘Layout’, the awkward angular ‘Pressure’ to the organised chaos of ‘See-through’. ‘Jazz is the Teacher (Funk is the Preacher)’ applies some brakes midway sounding almost conventional as it slides into the loose disguise of a song. By track seven, after the pounding ‘Time Out’, the tempo cools with the tense swinging ‘TV Blues’ signposting the deep raunchy soul of album’s closing title track.
Granted the frenetic pace and restless energy of the album often pushes the band’s sound to fight with itself. Ulmer’s guitar can lurch between steely fluidity and clattering destruction. The twin sax of David Murray and Oliver Lake often bring solid foundations but then unexpectedly collapse. The rhythms jerk and slap at thrash metal velocity that sometimes seems on the edge of control. But it is such unpredictability and daring that makes ‘Are You Glad To Be in America’ one of the defining records of the No Wave- unsettling political music that rages against the state and the state of jazz.
We have a brand new #AlbumOfTheWeek from The Luka State with More Than This! More Than This was produced by award winning producers Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, U2) & Dan Austin (Pixies, You Me At Six) and is a change of direction for the band inspired by the very real experiences the band went through during the pandemic. Conrad touches on a lot of these subjects on the album (trauma, substance abuse, mental health) as well as Conrad’s experiences delivering food parcels during the pandemic.
