T
his week, Lettuce’s Crush takes our number one spot! Here’s a peek into Crush, from reviewer Matt Weiman: “Lettuce’s highly anticipated fourth studio album from Royal Family Records, Crush, has arrived and it does not disappoint in the slightest. With stone cold groove after stone cold groove, Crush exemplifies the same grounded roots and sounds of previous albums but with a little more of a hip-hop and exploratory vibe to it than before.”
Our number two spot goes to Neon Indian. Vega Intl Night School has had a great run on our charts, as has our number three album V, from Wavves. Our number four and five spots are Ty Segall soaked, with Fuzz’s II and Wand’s 1,000 Days taking each spot, respectively.
New to our chart this week: Ryan Hemsworth & Lucas’ collaborative EP Taking Flight, Good Morning’s EP Shawcross, Lushes with Service Industry, Car Seat Headrest’s Teens of Style, Shadow In The Cracks self titled release, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard’s Paper Mache Dream Balloon, Frankie Cosmos’ electronic EP Fit Me In, nav/attack’s self titled release, and Oneohtrix Point Never’s Garden Of Delete.
