All the metalcore, post-hardcore and alternative rock releases this week plus more, along with recommendations from our staff.
Lotus Eater – Obliterate (Feat. Oli Sykes)
Label: Hopeless Records
Genre: Nu-Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp)
Joe recommends: Lotus Eater have delivered a song that more than lives up to its name. A unique use of the Oli Sykes feature and the vocal delivery of Paul Collins makes for a track that will as the lyrics say, obliterate your consciousness.
Thy Catafalque – Vadak
Label: Season of Mist
Genre: Avant-Garde Metal
(Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp)
Dhairya recommends: Thy Catafalque’s 10th studio album Vadak raises an already high bar higher with avant garde bliss combining catchy electronics, riffs and saxophones into one of the best albums of the year.
Tyler, The Creator – CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST
Label: Columbia Records
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: Yet another fantastic outing from Tyler, The Creator. His growth as an artist over the past five years has been fascinating to behold, and I feel that CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, far more than Flower Boy or Igor, feels like a natural convergence of his older hardcore hip-hop style, and his newer, more heart-on-the-sleeve melodic rap style. A surprisingly dense album for something so long, too!
Faye Webster – I Know I’m Funny haha
Label: Secretly Canadian
Genre: Pop Rock, Indie Rock, Indie Pop
(Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp)
Ewan recommends: Atlanta singer/songwriter Faye Webster’s fourth effort sees her craft another wry and poised track, with the title track from the LP I Know I’m Funny Haha coming across like a bitter grin in the face of a bad situation.
