September is upon us! Fall is right around the corner, and while the weather will hopefully cool down soon, we’ve got a HOT new edition of Charts & Adds for your listening pleasure. Check ’em out!!
Top 5 Charts:
1.) Mitski – Be The Cowboy
We have Mitski topping our charts for the 2nd week in a row. (From last week:) Be the Cowboy is Mitski’s fifth studio album, and a fantastic addition to her already impressive discography. Whether a full band is playing or it’s just Mitski and her piano, each of the fourteen tracks hits you in a way that only she can.
2.) The Beths – Future Me Hates Me
(From last week:) The Beths are an exciting four-piece band out of New Zealand. Future Me Hates Me is energetic and catchy, and front woman Elizabeth Stokes’ reflective and self-critical lyrics give the band a strong emotional edge.
3.) Basement Revolver – Heavy Eyes
(From last week:) We have another debut album at number three with Heavy Eyes by Canadian dream pop band Basement Revolver. The album is filled with playful melodies that are contrasted with fuzzed out guitar tones and weary, heartfelt lyrics.
4.) Blood Orange – Negro Swan
“Negro Swan is all about forging on when you don’t feel like you belong. But don’t expect to feel like an outsider, Blood Orange’s 4th LP is as immersive as it is powerful.” Read the full review for Negro Swan written by Miranda Roberts HERE
5.) Wild Nothing – Indigo
Like I said before, fall is right around the corner. However, if you’re still after some warm summer tunes to dance and sing along to, give Wild Nothing’s Indigo a listen. “Indigo is a lush, dreamy collection of 80s-inflected pop. It’s amazing, seriously.”
