by Konstantinos Pappis

In this segment, we showcase the most notable albums out each week. Here are the albums out on June 28, 2024:

Megan Thee Stallion, MEGAN

Megan Thee Stallion is back with a new album. MEGAN, the follow-up to 2022’s Traumazine, was promoted with the singles ‘Cobra’, ‘Hiss’, and ‘Boa’.” I was inspired to create this album about rebirth because I feel I am becoming a new person physically and mentally,” the rapper told, Women’s Health. “[Snakes are] feared, misunderstood, respected, healing.” And in a teaser, she said, “Just as a snake sheds it skin, we must shed our past, over and over again.”

Loma, How Will I Live Without a Body?

Loma have released their third LP, How Will I Live Without A Body?, via via Sub Pop. The follow-up to 2020’s Don’t Shy Away was preceded by the singles ‘How It Starts’, ‘Pink Sky’, and ‘Affinity’. Speaking about the album’s elusive lyrical perspective, the band’s Emily Cross said in our Artist Spotlight interview: “I don’t think I have a clear picture of who Loma lady is. I just know that she’s different from me. She would do things slightly differently than I would. But she still has aspects of my personality because there are things that I definitely have opinions about that I won’t budge on, and that’s definitely coming from me. But I think it’s just about her living within the Loma world, and we usually have a pretty clear picture of what that world is.”

Sour Widows, Revival of a Friend

Bay Area band Sour Widows have dropped their debut LP, Revival of a Friend, which is due June 28 on Exploding in Sound. The trio cited Joni Mitchell, Duster, Bedhead, and Slint as some of the influences behind the LP, which was previewed by the tracks ‘Witness’, ‘I-90’, ‘Cherish’, ‘Staring into Heaven/Shining’, and ‘Big Dogs’. “I started struggling with my mental health in my late teens, and the loss of my partner at age 21 – as well as the tumult of our relationship – exacerbated those issues,” Maia Sinaiko explained in a statement about ‘Cherish’. “I was a very angry person, and I went through several years of being emotionally volatile. Both wanting to connect and be seen while being enraged at the state of my life, I would lash out just to make contact with someone, even if that contact was hurtful. To cherish something is to love it for all that it is.”

Mabe Fratti, Sentir que no sabes

Mabe Fratti has issued her latest album, Sentir que no sabes, via Unheard of Hope. The follow-up to 2022’s Se Ve Desde Aquí includes the previously unveiled tracks ‘Enfrente’, ‘Kravitz’, ‘Pantalla azul’, and ‘Quieras o no’. The LP was written and recorded with her partner, multi-instrumentalist, and co-composer Héctor Tosta, with whom Fratti released a collaborative LP, Vidrio, under the name Titanic in 2023. “We talked and talked, and discussed ways of playing and recording, until things became inevitable,” Fratti explained in press materials. “We recorded a bunch of demos at our home studio and that meant we had a lot of time to re-edit and experiment. We really dug in. We were super focused on detail.”

Camila Cabello, C,XOXO

Camila Cabello has dropped her fourth studio LP, C,XOXO. The pop singer offered an early taste of the album with the singles ‘I Luv It’ featuring Playboi Carti, ‘He Knows’ with Lil Nas X, and ‘Chanel No.5’. “It’s really sitting in the discomfort of things and realizing there’s not gonna be a neat, in-a-box answer,” Cabello said of the record on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “”I feel strong in these ways, weak in these ways, and there’s no real clear answer here. But the album process has been such a journey. It started out with me having that intention of going back to how it started for me, which was just sitting with myself and really getting back to that first passion of songwriting. Nerding out over references and artists and poetry — whatever — and really tapping into that.” Read our review of C,XOXO.

MILLY, Your Own Becoming

Los Angeles quartet MILLY have come out with their sophomore album, Your Own Becoming, via Dangerbird. It was produced by Sonny DiPerri and features the advance tracks ‘Drip From the Fountain’, ‘Spilling Ink’, ‘Bittersweet Mary’, and ‘Running the Madness’. “We wanted to make something really special and really big,” the band’s Brendan Dyer said in a press release. “We wanted to kind of just elevate everything as much as possible. I grew up on slowcore but for this record, I just wanted to make things super-straightforward. No convoluted parts, no bullshit. I just wanted to make something that would explode.”

The Folk Implosion, Walk Thru Me

The Folk Implosion – the duo of Lou Barlow and John Davis – have returned with their first album in over two decades. Out now via Joyful Noise, Walk Thru Me was promoted with the singles ‘My Little Lamb’, ‘Bobblehead Doll’, and ‘Moonlit Kind’. Barlow and Davis worked on the album remotely, with help from producer Scott Solter. “Because we’re so separate, part of this album is me desperately trying to telepathically communicate to John and Scott, who are 700 miles away from me,” Barlow explained in a statement. “A big part of what I consider to be the Folk Implosion is taking disparate things and turning them into pop.”

Channel Tres, Head Rush

Channel Tres’s long-awaited debut LP, Head Rush, has arrived. It boasts features from Barnery Bones, Estelle, Ravyn Lenae, Teezo Touchdown, Thundercat, Toro Y Moi, Ty Dolla Sign, and Watr. “I’m older now, and the things that I’ve accomplished tell me I’m ready to do this,” the artist said in a press release. “You’ve worked your whole life for this, you’ve been able to do these shows and walk into these rooms and make these songs. There’s no reason you have to live by the same insecurity that you had to use in years past.” The singles ‘Berghain’ and ‘Cactus Water’ preceded the album.

Queen of Jeans, All Again

Philadelphia’s Queen of Jeans have put out their latest LP, All Again, via Memory Music. Following 2019’s if you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid and 2022’s Hiding in Place EP, the album finds the group once again working with Grammy-nominated producer Will Yip. It’s also their first with drummer Patrick Wall and bassist Andrew Nitz on the lineup.

Previous Industries, Service Merchandise

Previous Industries – the project of frequent collaborators Open Mike Eagle, Video Dave, and Still Rift – have dropped their debut full-length, Service Merchandise, through Merge Records. The majority of the LP was produced by Child Actor, with the exception of two songs produced by Quelle Chris and one by Smoke Bonito. The album, which revolves around the subject of defunct American retail chains, also features guest verses from Queen Herawin on ‘Montgomery Ward’ and Quelle Chris on ‘Dominick’s’.

Omar Apollo, God Said No

Omar Apollo has released his new album, God Said No, via Warner Records. The album follows his 2022 debut album Ivory and features the early singles ‘Spite’, ‘Less Of You’, ‘Dispose of Me’. It boasts guest contributions from Mustafa on ‘Plane Trees’ and actor Pedro Pascal on ‘Pedro’. Apollo worked on the new record at London’s Abbey Road Studios with producers Teo Halm, Carter Lang, and Blake Slatki. It was then refined across studios in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami towards the end of 2023.

Lil Yachty and James Blake, Bad Cameo

Lil Yachty and James Blake have joined forces for a new LP, Bad Cameo. “I think what people might not know about this record is that most of the songs started by me playing him a piece of beatless ambience and then him literally just writing a song in about under 20 seconds,” Blake said in a recent Apple Music interview. “It was crazy. I think that’s something that people might not realize about [Yachty] is that yes, he can come out and rage and the whole, you can see some of his shows, the energy of his shows is insane, but also you put a different style of music in front of him and he’ll just write the most beautiful song you’ve ever heard.”
