“A space rock/power pop jam about unrealistic expectations.”
Jangle, crunch, and catharsis: Avery Friedman's You Move glistens as a triumphant return single from the Brooklyn indie artist ahead of her first UK/EU tour, while Rural France's SLOTHS arrives as their jangliest, most baroque album yet — baroque organs, horns, and mellotron over a "Pavement playing Teenage Fanclub" foundation. Barrelly Ego's Bearly Eagle offers a cathartic socio-geo-political anthology, while John Titor's Time Machine's It's Time to Bounce, Amigo! is a punchy, proggy, industrial-tinged punk odyssey channeling Pixies and Shellac. Padded Waltz's Hand Me Down gives shame and insecurity their own voice, asking how those feelings shape who we become.
