Label: Rough Trade Genre: Math Rock / Jazz Pop / Prog Pop Reviewed by: Hayden Swenson For Fans Of: Black Midi, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan The New Sound sees former Black Midi frontman, Geordie Greep, apply his immense musical prowess to an all-new set of influences. This album deftly explores genres such as jazz-rock, prog, and samba with bombastic, theatric flair. The instrumentation here is fantastic! With his one-of-a-kind singing voice and masterful lyricism, Greep vividly depicts narratives and characters that are at once macabre, sinister, and sexual. Track 2 stands out with its Brazillian-inspired composition. It's a shame most of this can't be played during the day!

Label: Western Vinyl Genre: Baroque Pop, Chamber Folk Reviewed by: Baile Liu For Fans Of: Bjork Fight the Real Terror flexes the artist's wide breath of multi-instrumental abilities. Most of the tracks use acoustic instrumentation, but track 4 comes in with an upbeat electronic drum beat. The artist's voice is somber/Bjork-like but gets a bit bold and aggressive in Rocket in a Pocket. The lyrics on this album walk the line of cringe to poetic. Tracks 2 and 5 are especially cringe. However, track 7 has majestic angelic vocals and is beautiful. Overall I think this is a good album to add to your show stack!
WUVT is hosting local bands Sublimina, Crack in the Sidewalk, and Patty Carver at the Domicile (207 Janie Ln) on October 4th! Doors are at 7:30PM and the show starts at 8PM. We hope to see you there! Half our funds will go towards hurricane Helene relief efforts!
