Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (October 16th - October 22nd)

Welcome to FUZZY MEADOWS, where we recap the past week in music. We're sharing our favorite releases of the week in the form of albums, singles, and music videos along with the "further listening" section of new and notable releases from around the web.

Radiator Hospital - "Play The Songs You Like" | Album Review

Radiator Hospital - "Play The Songs You Like" | Album Review

Radiator Hospital’s delightful and vital new album Play The Songs You Like, like many of the best records, functions as a companion for aging amidst the current malaise. Beyond being an exceptional rock album, it is a deeply sentimental look at what happens in any life, from a band that has always excelled on such a minutely grandiose level.

Sleeping In - "Let You In" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Sleeping In - "Let You In" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Let You In is shoegaze to jam to. Music influenced by heavy doses of Hum, Dinosaur Jr, and Slowdive. The vocals buried, the riffs monstrous, where the music and vocal tone do the heavy lifting of conveying the weight and emotion of each song as opposed to the lyrics.

The County Liners - "Walkin' Out" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

The County Liners - "Walkin' Out" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

The duo's twangy debut trades off between Dunphe and McDonnell's vocals, countering each other with passioned howls and concise songwriting that never overstays its welcome. "Walkin' Out" is a prime example, a cloudy western ballad that captures McDonnell's folk inflected blues and longing, desperately attempting to hold on to a relationship already in shambles.

Shilpa Ray - "Door Girl" | Album Review

Shilpa Ray - "Door Girl" | Album Review

Though Ray has lived here for 17 years, she’s not painting pretty pictures of the city; Door Girl depicts New York as a collage of horrors, anxieties, and frustrations, ranging from the personal to the grandly political. It’s a thesis statement for anyone living paycheck to paycheck (or less) in a storied American city overrun with garbage, gentrification, wage gaps, and public transit.

Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile - "Lotta Sea Lice" | Album Review

Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile - "Lotta Sea Lice" | Album Review

What Lotta Sea Lice does amount to is a charming and engaging record about friendship and making music. The narrative being constructed around this record, both in the media and in the lyrics themselves, is one of two artists not only genuinely appreciating the other, but also that of a friend helping to rescue another from uncertainty and expectation.

Anthony Fremont's Garden Solutions - "American Dream" EP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Anthony Fremont's Garden Solutions - "American Dream" EP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Made up of four of Chicago DIY's finest musicians: Marcus Drake (Evasive Backflip), Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, Seth Engel (Options, Coaster, Great Deceivers), and Nate Amos (Water From Your Eyes), American Dream is a wild ride through dexterous post-hardcore and bent math pop wackiness.
