Temperatures have dropped in Lawrence this past week, but were keeping things toasty here at KJHK with a scorching new set of Charts & Adds! See what we’ve got spinning below:
Top 5 Charts:
1.) Kero Kero Bonito – Time N’ Place
At number one this week we have the sophomore full length from the unpredictable London trio, Kero Kero Bonito. Time N’ Place is an imaginative mix of sounds that not only blends genres but completely turns them upside down.
2.) Lala Lala – The Lamb
(From a previous week) Lillie West, the 24 year old Chicago based songwriter behind Lala Lala is back with their 2nd LP and debut on Hardly Art. The album is “chock full o’ hooks, roaring guitars, and palpable emotion.” Lala Lala will be opening for WHY? at recordBar on Tuesday, November 6th
3.) JOJI – Ballads 1
(From a previous week) The singer and producer from Osaka, Joji, showcases his wide variety of talents on his debut album Ballads 1. The album’s down-tempo and melancholic themes blend elements of trap, folk, electronic, and R&B.
4.) BRONCHO – Bad Behavior
“This album takes classic garage rock and gives it a hazy DIY feel. The strong melodies throughout the album will make you come back to this listen after listen.” Read the full review written by Miranda Roberts HERE. BRONCHO will be performing at The Riot Room in Kansas City on November 17, 2018.
5.) Ian Sweet – Crush Crusher
(From a previous week) Ian Sweet has always been an outlet both creatively and emotionally for Jilian Medford. On her debut LP, she turns these dense and compassionate feelings into a beautiful arrangement of songs that span a unique range of sounds and genres.
