Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (August 3rd - August 16th)

Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (August 3rd - August 16th)

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.

Double Grave - "Goodbye, Nowhere!" | Album Review

Double Grave - "Goodbye, Nowhere!" | Album Review

On Goodbye, Nowhere!, the sophomore record from Minneapolis’ Double Grave, emptiness faces a reckoning. The trio has been working towards this album for nearly half a decade, starting as Ego Death and evolving into Double Grave. Each subsequent release has brought them closer to perfecting their form of existential shoegaze.

Young Jesus - "Welcome To Conceptual Beach" | Album Review

Young Jesus - "Welcome To Conceptual Beach" | Album Review

Over four full-lengths, Young Jesus have built up a modus operandi of terse tracklists, extended instrumental workouts and satisfying buildups. It’s a formula that served their previous releases well, and Beach doesn’t deviate far from it. Post- and math-rock influences also remain but this record floats and soars with a newfound lightness.

Vintage Crop - "Serve To Serve Again" | Album Review

Vintage Crop - "Serve To Serve Again" | Album Review

Vintage Crop offer Serve To Serve Again, a mature return. From the turbulent ‘Jack’s Casino’ to particularly incestual ‘The Ladder,’ the record still upholds the hilarity and tongue-in-cheek attitude of the band’s previous releases - expanded sonically this time round with layers of synthesizers.

Dehd - "Flower of Devotion" | Album Review

Dehd - "Flower of Devotion" | Album Review

As is often the case with a third album, the production levels have been raised. The sounds of Flower Of Devotion are glossier and crisper, the raw qualities of their indie-rock both softened and rounded. The new lushness will be more inviting to the casual listener but the basic premise of Dehd’s music is kept to satiate long-time followers.

Mal Devisa - "Vicious Nonbeliever" | Album Review

Mal Devisa - "Vicious Nonbeliever" | Album Review

Vicious Nonbeliever, the newest release from Mal Devisa, is a natural extension of her previous efforts from a few years ago. By pairing up with DJ LUCAS, Devisa fully hones in her vocals, creating some of her best work to date. It’s really the turn of phrases that make Vicious Nonbeliever hard to escape or ignore.

Mike Polizze - "Long Lost Solace Find" | Album Review

Mike Polizze - "Long Lost Solace Find" | Album Review

Long Lost Solace Find falls within the domain of exceptionality. By being the work of a singer-songwriter connected to the world of folk, its incredibly detached from the very schemes of genre. The first work of courage is in telling, in a folk key, not the stereotype of the forest or inner peace, but rather the urban fabric of a city.

Rae Fitzgerald - "I've Got A Vision" Video | Post-Trash Premiere

Rae Fitzgerald - "I've Got A Vision" Video | Post-Trash Premiere

“I’ve Got A Vision,” the record’s second single was released last week for everyone’s favorite new holiday, Bandcamp Friday, and we’re excited to share the song’s accompanying video. Directed and edited by Chelsea Wright, the clip takes a serene trip though the open spaces and friendly moments Missouri has to offer.

Disco Doom / Oruã - "Esmeralda Destiny Analysis" | Single Review

Disco Doom / Oruã - "Esmeralda Destiny Analysis" | Single Review

This split EP is a brief, yet precise combination of two complementary worlds, despite being continents and languages apart. You must have heard that music is a “universal language” and you’re probably aware that long distance collabs between bands are not that rare in this time. Esmeralda fuses both notions and the result sounds awesome.

Powerwasher - "The Power of Positive Washing" LP | Post-Trash Premiere

Powerwasher - "The Power of Positive Washing" LP | Post-Trash Premiere

The music of Powerwasher is snarling, frantic, and uncontainable. Hailing from Baltimore and Atlanta, the band’s debut album The Power of Positive Washing is anxiety-inducing in the best way possible. The songs ooze style and melody, and the band’s use of odd time signatures and neck-jerking transitions keeps you on your toes.
