<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n5. “Earls” [Single] by Arc Flash<\/strong><\/p>\n
Arc Flash is one of the most engaging acts in the contemporary music scene in Lawrence. As a local favorite, the duo of psych-punk rockers are teasing their fans with a banging new single – ahead of their album release in March.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/R-9021428-1473420025-2797.jpeg-297x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n4. “Take Me to the Trees” by Modern English<\/strong><\/p>\n
Modern English have certainly been around for a while. Perhaps you remember seeing a greatest hits album in your Dad’s car once. However, what sets Modern English apart is their ability to continue to turnover fresh and listenable work despite their age.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TheTourist-300x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n3. “The Tourist” by Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah!<\/strong><\/p>\n
Around 12 years ago, Allen Ounsworth shook up the music industry by being one of the first artists to find a solid fanbase using music blogs. However, there has been a gradual decline in the popularity of each release. Thankfully, The Tourist is a much appreciated return to the fresh and emotional subject matter that gained CYHSY notoriety.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/a2731568276_10-300x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n2. “Flying Microtonal Banana” by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard<\/strong><\/p>\n
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard is a group of funky Australians. That should be enough. However, they are all masters of their craft and explore new sounds in ways that most contemporary artists are lacking the excitement to try. This particular album utilizes microtonal instruments.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/BFDNL064_Thundercat_Drunk_Packshot-300x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n1.”Drunk” by Thundercat<\/strong><\/p>\n
Thundercat has had an incredibly interesting career. On top of at one time being the bassist for Suicidal Tendencies, Thundercat has been a prominent figure in the indie hip-hop instrumental, soul, and funk scenes. This album not only contains a wide list of features – from Kendrick Lamar to Michael McDonald. It also contains the most complete thematic work that Thundercat has attempted to date.<\/p>\n
TOP 30 CHARTS<\/strong><\/p>\n
5. “Feel Your Feelings Fool!” by the Regrettes<\/strong><\/p>\n
[From a previous Charts & Adds Post]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4. “Oczly Mlody” by the Flaming Lips<\/strong><\/p>\n
[From staffer Madeline Connor]<\/p>\n
“After 30 plus years in the indie music scene, The Flaming Lips aren\u2019t getting any more normal. The act released their seventeenth studio album in late January\u2014this time more bizarre and yet much more subdued than its antecedent, The Terror<\/em>. Littered with fuzzy synth and programmed drum beats, The Flaming Lips took on a glitchy synthpop sound, and subsequently, created a topic of debate for their longtime fans. It\u2019s a slow grow to the album\u2019s peak, and even then, it seldom departs its woozy soundscape. The album\u2014a rock opera, of sorts\u2014tells a loose story of a psychedelic journey featuring unicorns, frogs, and castles. Much of their recent evolution, both musical and conceptual, is attributed to Miley Cyrus, the band\u2019s muse and the album\u2019s featured artist. Oczy Mlody includes ‘We a Famly,’ a spacey duet between Cyrus and frontman Wayne Coyne as well as ‘Sunshine (Eyes of the Young),’ which borrows a melody from Cyrus\u2019 Dead Petz project.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n3. “I See You” by XX<\/strong><\/p>\n
[From a previous Charts & Adds Post]<\/p>\n
\u201cI See You\u00a0is what happens when goths watch musicals. I kid, but only slightly. I See You boasts a maturity that, until this point, has not been seen in the heartbroken ballads frequenting the British triad\u2019s career. Most notable about this album is the long pauses that are filled only the trademark male-female collaboration. The progression in thier album can also be seen in the more bold use of sampling \u2013 following on the heels of Jamie XX\u2019s In Colour.<\/em>\u00a0This album certainly meets its anticipation.\u201d<\/p>\n
