Albums Out Today: Dua Lipa, Jessica Pratt, Kamasi Washington, Camera Obscura, and More

In this segment, we showcase the most notable albums out each week. Here are the albums out on May 3, 2024:

Dua Lipa, Radical Optimism

Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism has arrived. The Future Nostalgia follow-up was promoted with the singles ‘Houdini’, ‘Training Season’, and ‘Illusion’. “A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism,” Lipa said in a press release. “It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life. It struck me—the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions.”

Jessica Pratt, Here in the Pitch

Jessica Pratt has released her fourth album, Here in the Pitch, via City Slang and Mexican Summer. The follow-up to 2019’s Quiet Signs includes the previously unveiled songs  ‘World on a String’, ‘Life Is’, and ‘The Last Year’. Pratt returned to Gary’s Electric Studio in Brooklyn to lay down the album, working with collaborators including multi-instrumentalist/engineer Al Carlson, keyboardist Matt McDermott, bassist Spencer Zahn, and percussionist Mauro Refosco. Ryley Walker, Peter Mudge, and Alex Goldberg also contributed to the LP. “I never wanted it to take this long,” Pratt said. “I’m just a real perfectionist. I was just trying to get the right feeling, and it takes a long time to do that.”

Kamasi Washington, Fearless Movement

Kamasi Washington has returned with a new album called Fearless Movement. The follow-up to 2018’s Heaven and Earth boasts guest appearances from André 3000, Thundercat, George Clinton, Terrace Martin, BJ the Chicago Kid, and more. The jazz luminary described the LP as his dance album, explaining, “It’s not literal. Dance is movement and expression, and in a way it’s the same thing as music – expressing your spirit through your body. That’s what this album is pushing.” The singles ‘Prologue’ and ‘Dream State’ arrived ahead of the release.

Camera Obscura, Look to the East, Look to the West

Camera Obscura are back with their first new album in 11 years. Following up Desire Lines, Look to the East, Look to the West was previewed by the singles ‘Big Love’, We’re Gonna Make It in a Man’s World’, and ‘Liberty Print’. Camera Obscura went on an extended hiatus in 2015 following the death of keyboardist Carey Lander; the band, led by guitarist and vocalist Tracyanne Campbell, made the new album with producer Jari Haapalainen, who helmed their 2006 LP Let’s Get Out of This Country and 2009’s My Maudlin Career.

Blushing, Sugarcoat

Sugarcoat is the latest album by Blushing, Austin, the Texas-based dream-pop band composed of the double husband and wife pairs of Christina and Noe Carmona and Michelle and Jacob Soto. Out now via Kanine, the follow-up to 2022’s Possessions includes the advance tracks ‘Slyce’, and ‘Tamagotchi’, and ‘Seafoam’ (which features lead guitar from the Smashing Pumpkins’ Jeff Schroeder). It finds the group continuing the collaboration with Ringo Deathstarr’s Elliott Frazier and Ride’s Mark Gardener, who helped engineer, mix, and master the record.

Mdou Moctar, Funeral for Justice

Mdou Moctar have followed up 2019’s breakout Afrique Victime with Funeral for Justice, out now via Matador. “This album is really different for me,” Moctar, the Nigerian band’s singer, namesake, and guitarist, said in a press release. “Now the problems of terrorist violence are more serious in Africa. When the US and Europe came here, they said they’re going to help us, but what we see is really different. They never help us to find a solution.” Producer and bassist Mikey Coltun added, “With Funeral for Justice, I really wanted this to shine with the political message because of everything that’s going on. As the band got tighter and heavier live, it made sense to capture this urgency and this aggression – it wasn’t a forced thing, it was very natural.”

The Lemon Twigs, A Dream Is All We Know

Less than a year after the release of their last album Everything Is Harmony, the Lemon Twigs are back with A Dream Is All We Know, out now on Captured Tracks. The 12-track effort was preceded by the singles ‘My Golden Years’, ‘They Don’t Know How to Fall in Place’, and the title track. “There’s definitely an escapist bend to this album,” Brian D’Addario commented in press materials. “Joyous music can take you out of the world when things get too heavy, which everyone needs sometimes. ”

Ibibio Sound Machine, Pull the Rope

Ibibio Sound Machine have dropped a new LP, Pull the Rope, following up 2022’s Electricity. The band, led by Eno Williams and Max Grunhard, recorded the new album with Sheffield-based producer Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, M.I.A.) over two weeks. “Ross is from Sheffield, which has an edgier, more industrial vibe than London,” Grunhard explained in press materials. “He hears things differently than us, is more grounded in rave and grungier sounds, and knew when to add drums or push the instrumentation more. It was very different for us, but it lends itself to where Ibibio Sound Machine is going.”

Snarls, With Love,

Snarls have dropped their sophomore LP, With Love,. Following 2020’s Burst and 2021’s What About Flowers? EP, the record was produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie, Foxing, Ratboys) and tracked at his remote studio in Norway. The songs ‘Heavy Drinker’, ‘Big Fish’, and ‘baby bangs’ previewed it. “We wrote this record during a time of serious introspection for the whole group, and it covers all kinds of topics from love to loss, confidence to self-loathing,” the band reflected, “all the various ups and downs we’ve gone through in such a transformative period of time.”

Lightning Bug, No Paradise

Lightning Bug have unveiled their latest album, No Paradise. Arriving three years after A Color of the Sky, the album – the band’s first since leaving the Fat Possum label – includes the early singles ‘December Song’, ‘Opus’, and ‘Lullaby for Love’. According to a press release, “if [A Color of the Sky] was celestial, this is terrestrial, rooted in the dirt, the muck, the marrow of ephemeral life. It explores the vast landscape of darkness that threatens to envelop us all, but revels in the fault lines through which light shines, shimmers, guides us to something like salvation.”

Charlotte Day Wilson, Cyan Blue

Cyan Blue follows Charlotte Day Wilson’s 2021 outing Alpha. Released via Wilson’s Stone Woman Music imprint and XL Recordings, the album was preceded by the tracks ‘I Don’t Love You’, ‘Forever’ featuring Snoh Aalegra, ‘Canopy’, ‘My Way’ and the title track. “I want to look through the un-jaded eyes of my younger self again,” Wilson said of the record. “Before there wasn’t as much baggage, before so much life was lived. But I also wish that my younger self could see where I am now. It would be nice to be able to impart some of the wisdom and clarity that I have now onto her.”

Hana Vu, Romanticism

Hana Vu has followed up her 2021 debut Public Storage with her sophomore full-length, Romanticism. Ahead of its arrival, she shared the singles ‘Care’, ‘Hammer’, and ’22’. “I’m just trying to convey my perspective as boldly as possible,” Vu explained. “To succinctly crystallize how it feels to be young, but also to be deeply sad.” She added: “Being a romantic is different from being a romanticist. The nexus of this album is indulging in these sad feelings, indulging in the senses. It’s just not commonplace in society that people really can value the beauty of being so sad, of feeling grief and heartbreak.”

Will There be Another Vikings Spinoff After Valhalla?

Will There be Another Vikings Spinoff After Valhalla?

The History Channel’s Vikings was a cultural sensation, and the impact of the historical epic can be seen far and wide throughout the entertainment industry. After Michael Hirst’s offering ended, it spawned an equally popular spinoff, Vikings: Valhalla.

Now that the sequel series is coming to an end in 2024, the question is where the franchise could go next. It would make a lot of sense for Netflix to continue releasing related content while interest is still high.

Vikings Has Had a Massive Impact on Popular Culture

The impact that Vikings has had on popular culture can be seen everywhere, from other television series to games. For instance, there’s a strong chance that it directly inspired Stephen Butchard’s The Last Kingdom, which shared many similar themes with the 2013 offering. It could have also influenced Black Sails, which dropped on Starz a year after Vikings’ release.

There’s no doubt that Vikings has had an incredible effect on the gaming industry. Indeed, there are countless games across a wide range of platforms that are inspired by the Norse seafarers. The recent God of War and God of War: Ragnarok both used Norse mythology, and they are regarded among the top console games of all time. There are also various mobile offerings, such as Vikings: War of Clans.

The online bingo industry is now packed full of Vikings-inspired content, with developers seeking to capitalise on this trend. There are countless Norse-themed slot games, and the genre is also represented in the newer Slingo lists. Slingo hasn’t been available for that long, but Slingo Berserk was one of the earliest titles. That’s because the developers knew that Viking content would be a major draw for players.

Valhalla Ending After Season Three

Vikings: Valhalla has been an excellent spinoff and has brought more fans to the overall franchise. However, it was recently confirmed that it will be ending after the third season in 2024. This could be a good decision from creator Jeb Stuart, as it allows the series to stick concisely to its story without becoming drawn out and stale.

Many people are now wondering what will happen after Valhalla ends. In the modern age of television, streaming services are reluctant to simply conclude successful series without revisiting them in some way. Netflix already proved this with various other series, including Breaking Bad’s spinoff, Better Call Saul. That’s why there’s a strong chance there could be another spinoff after Valhalla.

Spinoff Could Explore Other Periods

The problem that the Vikings franchise is facing is the fact that the two programmes have covered most of the Viking age. A sequel, therefore, would have to explore later periods of history when the culture of the Norsemen was eradicated by Christianity.

That means any new spinoff may need to drop the name of Vikings to expand into other historical periods. This could work if the marketing was clear that the new offering was a relation to Vikings from the same creators.

It’s strange to think that the Vikings franchise could be coming to an end after Valhalla finishes. Both series have been so successful and influential in the mainstream that it would make a lot of sense to create another spinoff to keep the franchise alive.

The WAEVE Share New Song ‘City Lights’

The WAEVE – the duo of Blur’s Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall – have put out a new single, ‘City Lights’. Check it out below.

Introducing the new song, the band shared: “The city lights bestow a unique magic on everyone – the beautiful and the grotesque, the angels and the devils – shining and seductive, one and all… Who wants to love you and who wants to destroy you?”

IAN SWEET Covers Broken Social Scene’s ‘Anthems for Seventeen Year Old Girl’

IAN SWEET – the project of NYC artist Jilian Medford – has shared a cover of Broken Social Scene’s ‘Anthems for Seventeen Year Old Girl’. Listen to it below.

Speaking about the track, Medford said:

Broken Social Scene’s music has always felt like the equivalent of a hug, and I think at some point everyone has to have *that* moment with ‘Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl.’ Or maybe you have it more than once. This song hits different for me now than it did when I was actually 17, and I imagine it’ll hit a little different each year I get further away from that version of myself. It so poignantly nails the difficulty of trying to exist within the moment of being a teenager while you’re simultaneously looking towards the inevitable transitions looming on the horizon. You want to cry.. and you should cry.

Simply put: It. Fucking. Crushes.

And even though covering someone else’s work is weird and strange and almost always feels like perhaps it shouldn’t be done, I’m willing to say effusively that I never want to escape this song. With this small act, perhaps now I can’t! The original is essential, other covers have taken it to amazing places as well, and now I’ve recorded my version hoping a few more people will get to shout the lyrics at the top of their lungs and FEEL FUCKING INCREDIBLE doing so. Here’s hoping a thousand more artists do the same and that this song just never dies.

Earlier this year, ‘Anthems for Seventeen Year Old Girl’ was covered by yeule for Jane Schoenbrun’s upcoming horror film I Saw the TV Glow. IAN SWEET released her most recent album, SUCKER, last year.

illuminati hotties Release New Song ‘Can’t Be Still’

Sarah Tudzin has returned with a new illuminati hotties song, ‘Can’t Be Still’. Check out a video for it below.

“I find that something I have in common with most people that I talk to lately is the immense fear of and inability to be alone with ourselves,” Tudzin said of the new single in a statement. “Constant motion, avoidance, restlessness — anything to keep myself from stagnating [has] always been my coping mechanisms when my inner monologue starts to get loud.”

illuminati hotties’ last album was 2020’s Let Me Do One More. Since then, Tudzin has produced boygenius’ Grammy-winning the record as well as albums by Weyes Blood, Eliza McLamb, Speedy Oritz, Lou Roy, and more. She’s also shared the singles ‘Truck’ and ‘sandwich share’.

Washed Out Announces New Album, Shares New Single ‘The Hardest Part’

Washed Out Announces New Album, Shares New Single ‘The Hardest Part’

Ernest Greene has announced a new Washed Out album called Notes From a Quiet Life. The follow-up to 2020’s Purple Noon arrives on June 28 via Sub Pop. It’s led by the single ‘The Hardest Part’, which is accompanied by a video from director Paul Trillo that was created using OpenAI’s Sora. Check it out below.

Notes From a Quiet Life marks the first album Greene has self-produced, with mixing assistance from Nathan Boddy and David Wrench. Discussing the new song and video, Greene said:

‘The Hardest Part’ is a story about nostalgia and love lost. With the video, I wanted to bring this narrative to life in a sincere way that was also exciting and unexpected. I’ve been a fan of Paul for a long time and he is amazingly skilled at incorporating cutting-edge visual effects that elevate a story instead of simply supplementing it with shock and awe. He was at the top of my list of potential collaborators.

What he’s come up with is nostalgic, sad, uplifting, and often quite strange. However, he still manages to make you feel for the characters and invested in the journey of how their lives progress.

I think that Paul is right when he says that this video could only be made using this new AI technology. In my opinion, the hallucinatory quality of Sora clips feel like the beginning of a new genre unto itself – one that is surreal and unpredictable and entirely unique to traditional cinema or even animation.

Paul Trillo added:

I had the seed of this video concept 10 years ago, where we do an infinite zoom of a couple’s life over the course of many decades, but I have yet to attempt it because I figured it’d be too ambitious for a music video. While the technology is experimental and cutting-edge, I wanted to do something that also felt like a classic music video that would hold your attention no matter what tech was being used in the process. I was specifically interested in what makes Sora so unique. It offers something that couldn’t quite be shot with a camera, nor could it be animated in 3D, it was something that could have only existed with this specific technology. The surreal and hallucinatory aspects of AI allow you to explore and discover new ideas that you would have never dreamed of. Using AI to simply recreate reality is boring. I wasn’t interested in capturing realism but something that felt hyperreal. The fluid blending and merging of different scenes feels more akin to how we move through dreams and the murkiness of memories. While some people feel this may be supplanting how things are made, I see this as supplementing ideas that could never have been made otherwise. Many artists in this industry are constantly compromising and negotiating their ideas with the reality of what can be made. This offers a glimpse at a future where music artists will be given the opportunity to dream bigger. An overreliance on this technique may become a crutch and it’s important that we don’t use this as the new standard of creation but another technique in the toolbelt.

Why Bonnie Sign to Fire Talk, Share Video for New Single ‘Dotted Line’

Why Bonnie – the New York-based project of Blair Howerton – have announced their signing to Fire Talk Records with a new song, ‘Dotted Line’. The track arrives with a music video co-directed by Howerton and Grace Pendleton. Watch and listen below.

Howerton wrote ‘Dotted Line’ during a period when she was “broke as hell” and experiencing “the weight of capitalism,” she explained in a press release. “I was thinking of all the things we’re told are markers of success, and how at this rate, I’ll probably never have any of them.”

‘Dotted Line’ marks the band’s first new music since their 2022 album 90 in November. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Why Bonnie.
