In this segment, we showcase the most notable albums out each week. Here are the albums out on March 15, 2024:
Kacey Musgraves is back with Deeper Well, the follow-up to 2021’s star-crossed. Musgraves co-produced the new LP with longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk and recorded much of it at New York’s Electric Lady Studios. “I was seeking some different environmental energy and Electric Lady has the best mojo,” Musgraves said in press materials. “Great ghosts.” The album was previewed by the singles ‘Too Good to Be True’ and the title track. Read our review of Deeper Well.
Justin Timberlake has returned with Everything I Thought It Was, his first album in six years. The Man of the Woods follow-up was preceded by the singles ‘Selfish’ and ‘Drown’. “I think there are moments that are incredibly honest, but also, there’s a lot of fucking fun on this album,” Timberlake said in an Apple Music interview. “I think that’s where I came up with the album title, with everything I thought it was. I was playing it for people around me. They’re like, ‘Oh, this sounds like everything we know you for.’ And then another friend of mine was like, ‘Oh, this sounds like everything I thought I wanted from you.’ It was like that sort of phrase, in one way or another, was in the air. And I thought to myself about how some of the songs are more introspective and some of them are more what I think people know me for.”
Tierra Whack has released World Wide Whack, which is billed as the Philadelphia rapper’s debut album. Featuring the promotional singles ‘Shower Song’ and ‘Chanel Pit’, it follows 2018’s Whack World as well as a trilogy of EPs – Rap?, Pop?, and R&B? – that came out in 2021. Whack collaborated with the ]Philly-based Venezuelan American visual artist Alex Da Corte on the album’s visuals and artwork.
Four Tet has dropped his new album, Three, via Kieran Hebden’s own label, Text Records. It marks the producer’s first LP since 2020’s Sixteen Oceans, 871, and Parallel, and features the previously released singles ‘Daydream Repeat’, ‘Loved’, and ‘Three Drums’. The album’s cover artwork was designed by Jason Evans and Matthew Cooper.
Gouge Away have released their third LP, Deep Sage, via Deathwish Inc. The band began writing the follow-up to 2018’s Burnt Sugar in 2019 and didn’t finish until March 2023, when they started tracking it with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden East, completely analog and almost entirely live. “Recording live and to tape creates an intense environment where we have no choice but to feed off each other’s energy,” the band’s Christina Michelle said in press materials. “We have to get it right in one take and if anyone messes up we all have to start over, so no one wants to be that guy. It adds an element of risk and excitement. We don’t want to sound beautifully polished or perfect anyway. We want to sound like the five of us being human, and no one is better than Jack Shirley when it comes to capturing what it feels like in the room.”
Daniel Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Operators, Divine Fits, Handsome Furs) has issued his self-titled debut solo album. Boeckner! was produced, engineered, and mixed by Randall Dunn at Circular Ruin in New York City and mastered by Heba Kadry in Brooklyn. It features Matt Chamberlain on drums, Medicine’s Brad Laner (who contributed guitar and vocal arrangements), and Jeremy Gaudet of labelmates Kiwi Jr., who co-wrote the song ‘Dead Tourists’. “This record is like an autobiography—Atlas Strategic music concrete synth explosions, lush synth stuff from Operators, the noise guitar from Handsome Furs, drawing influence from everything from Stockhausen to Tom Waits all at the same time,” Boeckner commented in a press release.
The Messthetics – the trio of former Fugazi members Brendan Canty and Joe Lally plus guitarist Anthony Pirog – have teamed up with jazz saxophonist James Brandon Lewis for a new album, which is out now via Impulse! Records. “The way I revere them is the same way that I revere playing with Jamaaladeen Tacuma or playing with William Parker,” Lewis said of working with Lally and Canty. “It’s a certain road experience that you can’t get in school.”
Devon Welsh, formerly of Majical Cloudz, has issued a new solo album called Come With Me If You Want to Live. The follow-up to 2019’s True Love includes the advance tracks ‘You Can Do Anything’ and ‘That’s What We Needed’. “It’s a soundtrack for a film that doesn’t exist and probably shouldn’t exist,” Welsh explained in a press release. “In that sense it’s a fantasy album. But a lot of the songs are personal fantasies, so it’s also something of a personal album. I hope it’s a fun album in the sense that it inspires your own personal action movie. So you could call it an action album. It would be fair to call it a pop album, in that I would be pleased if it were popular. It’s my album, but I want to give it to you. So it’s your album now.”

Kelly Moran has put out a new single, ‘Sodalis (II)’, from her forthcoming LP Moves in the Field. It’s a new version of her 2020 song ‘Sodalis’, which appeared on the Field Works Ultrasonic collection released by Temporary Residence, reimagined with the Yamaha Disklavier. It arrives alongside a live performance video directed by Yuan Liu with creative director Katharine Antoun. Check it out below.
“Initially written as a track for prepared piano, ‘Sodalis’ has evolved into a lush, tender duet for myself and the player-piano,” Moran explained in a statement. “To create this version, I recorded a solo arrangement of the piece on the player-piano, and then orchestrated harmonies and patterns that interlock with my parts and dance around the entire range of the piano. Composing this piece was an exploration in making the piano sound as rich, resonant, and emotive as possible. It was the first arrangement I made of my music for player-piano, and the creative possibilities of the process made me realize this was the right direction for my album.”
Moves in the Field will be released on March 29 via Warp.
Vampire Weekend have shared ‘Classical’, a new single from their forthcoming album Only God Was Above Us. It arrives on the heels of lead singles ‘Capricorn’ and ‘Gen-X Cops’. Its Nick Harwood-directed music video features the band, Ray Suen, drum tech Josh Goldsmith, and producer Ariel Rechtshaid. Watch and listen below.
Only God Was Above Us is set to arrive on April 5.
Ride have unveiled ‘Monaco’, the latest single from their forthcoming album Interplay. It follows previous entries ‘Peace Sign’ and ‘Last Frontier’. Check it out below.
“The backing track came from the earlier Ox4 Sound sessions we did and we gave it a demo name of ‘Monaco’ as we were naming these jams and ideas we were pulling together as place names,” frontman Mark Gardener explained in a statement. “One evening, during the recording sessions at Ox4 Sound, the guys had all left the building and I was there with just producer Richie Kennedy and an engineer. I had been writing some words about how I was feeling that everybody was being smashed in the current economic climate with the rise of energy bills and all else; to the point that it just seems now that we’re having to live to work instead of working to live.”
“The song is a reflection on this feeling of how we’re all being smashed to pieces and under pressure constantly financially,” he added. “It’s a kind of call to arms against this whilst we still have strength to fight against it . ‘Monaco’ then stayed as the ironic title as the song is totally against the madness of the few who live in their artificial, detached rich bubbles in Monaco.”
Interplay is out March 29 via Wichita Recordings/PIAS.
The perfect match between style and comfort can be found by carefully selecting restaurant chairs that adorn the space. Let us explore the world of trendy restaurant chairs and how they can elevate your dining experience to new levels of comfort and style. Whether you prefer sleek modern designs or rustic vintage aesthetics, a chair is undoubtedly out there waiting to become your perfect match.
Why the right restaurant chair is essential
The right restaurant chair is more than just a piece of furniture; it sets the stage for the dining experience. Carefully selected, well-designed chairs can improve the appeal of a space and form an inviting atmosphere that entices customers to linger longer. When choosing restaurant chairs, comfort should always be at the forefront. After all, diners come to restaurants not only for delectable food but also for relaxation and enjoyment. Comfortable chairs will encourage patrons to stay longer and positively impact their dining experience. Restaurant owners should consider the style and design of their establishment when selecting chairs. The right chair can help convey your brand’s identity and leave a lasting impression on your customers. For example, if your restaurant has a modern-industrial theme, opting for sleek metal or wood-framed chairs would complement its aesthetic perfectly. Alternatively, if you run an upscale fine dining establishment with classic decor, plush upholstered seats in sophisticated colors like deep reds or velvet blues would add elegance.
Consider your restaurant’s style and theme
When selecting chairs for your restaurant, it’s essential to consider your establishment’s overall style and theme. The suitable chairs can provide comfort for your guests and enhance the atmosphere and ambiance of your space. For example, if you have a rustic-themed restaurant with wooden tables and exposed brick walls, choosing chairs made from natural materials such as wicker or wood can help create a cohesive look and feel. If your restaurant has a modern and sleek design, choosing chairs with clean lines and minimalist upholstery can add a touch of elegance. The style of chairs you choose should also reflect the cuisine you offer. If you operate an upscale fine dining establishment that serves gourmet dishes, choosing high-back leather chairs can assist in creating an air of luxury and sophistication. If your restaurant specializes in casual comfort food or fast-casual fare, you may opt for more relaxed seating options like padded booths or retro-style diner chairs. Ultimately, aligning the style and theme of your restaurant with your choice of chairs will help form a seamless dining experience that leaves a lasting impression on your customers. In addition to considering aesthetics, it’s crucial to ensure that the selected chairs are comfortable for guests. While trendy chair designs may catch attention initially, they won’t do any good if customers find them uncomfortable after sitting for extended periods. Prioritize comfort by selecting ergonomic designs that offer proper support for posture while also providing ample cushioning. When people dine out, they expect great food and a comfortable environment to enjoy their meal without discomfort or distractions caused by poorly chosen seating options. Constantly evaluate how well the chosen chair styles align with the restaurant’s decor and the target clientele’s tastes/preferences. You’ll cater to various dining occasions: brunch rush hour, lunch hour, dinner crowd, and maybe even a private party. The trick is finding versatile chairs that can accommodate these demands while still maintaining the overall style and theme of the restaurant. Shop for restaurant chairs at restaurantfurnitureplus.com to find the perfect chairs and create a fantastic space.
Prioritize comfort without sacrificing style
The comfort of restaurant chairs is often overlooked when designing a stylish dining space. However, it is crucial to prioritize the comfort levels of your patrons without sacrificing style or aesthetics. After all, what good is a beautifully decorated restaurant if customers are left feeling uncomfortable and restless? One way to achieve this balance is by opting for support and cushioning chairs. Consider choosing chairs with ergonomic designs that provide optimal back and lumbar support and plush seating to enhance overall comfort. Selecting chairs with adjustable features such as height or tilt can cater to individual preferences and increase customer satisfaction. Another aspect to consider is the material of the chair upholstery. While leather might exude luxury and style, it may not always be the most comfortable option for prolonged seating. Fabrics or materials like velvet or microfiber can balance aesthetics and comfort, providing a soft texture while adding elegance to your restaurant’s ambiance. Remember, prioritizing the comfort of restaurant chairs does not mean compromising style. By selecting chairs with functionality and aesthetic appeal, you can create an inviting environment where your guests will feel relaxed and eager to enjoy their dining experience. So next time you contemplate updating your establishment’s furniture, ensure you give equal importance to style and comfort – your customers will thank you!
Explore different materials and designs
When choosing restaurant chairs, various materials and designs are available to suit every style and preference. Traditional wooden chairs are classic and timeless, with natural warmth and elegance perfectly suitable for creating a cozy atmosphere in any dining establishment. For a more contemporary and industrial look, metal chairs can add a touch of modernity to your restaurant. They are sleek, durable, and can withstand heavy use while maintaining visual appeal. They come in various finishes, such as polished chrome or powder-coated black, allowing you to customize the look according to your restaurant’s overall aesthetic. Are you looking for something comfortable yet stylish? Upholstered chairs might be the perfect choice. With endless fabric options, you can effortlessly match them with your restaurant’s decor. From luxurious velvet to easy-to-clean faux leather, upholstered chairs offer comfort for diners. Whether it’s bold patterns or soft neutrals, these chairs can instantly elevate the ambiance of your space. Ultimately, finding the suitable material and design for restaurant chairs depends on various factors such as the theme of your establishment, functionality requirements, comfort needs, budget considerations, etc. By carefully considering all these aspects and exploring different options available in today’s market – from traditional wooden chairs to sleek metal designs or upholstered pieces – you’ll be able to create an inviting dining experience that reflects your restaurant’s personality while providing optimal comfort for your guests.
In conclusion, finding the perfect restaurant chair that combines comfort and style is crucial for creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience.

With video gaming continuously evolving, simply playing a game doesn’t cut it anymore. For enthusiasts seeking to deepen their immersion and elevate their experience, the devil is in the details – from peripheral feedback to the ambiance of your gaming space, every element plays an integral part in crafting the ideal gaming session. This guide will reveal various strategies to upgrade your setup and ensure every session remains exciting – creating an enduring experience between virtual reality and reality with finesse and flair!
Building your own personalized gaming rig should be like tailoring an outfit specifically to you – every component and feature should be selected with care to meet the demands of your specific needs and tastes. Start by choosing a high-performance CPU and GPU capable of meeting the graphics processing demands of your favorite games. RAM is also an integral factor, opting for more memory can significantly speed up loading times and gameplay experience, with solid-state drives (SSDs) offering faster load times and system responsiveness than their HDD counterparts. Beyond internal components, aesthetics of your rig are an integral component of its individuality. There is a wide array of designs available, from minimalist cases to more intricately illuminated ones that add an additional personal touch. Customizable RGB lighting adds a personal touch, enabling you to tailor your setup according to your mood or game genre. Cooling systems not only maintain optimal temperatures for optimal performance but can also contribute visually. Investment in quality peripherals such as ergonomic chairs, mechanical keyboards, and high-resolution monitors can enhance your gaming experience significantly, providing comfort and precision that complement the prowess of your own customized gaming rig.
Establishing an ergonomic gaming space goes far beyond mere aesthetics – it involves designing an environment which promotes comfort and health during those marathon gaming sessions. Ergonomics, or the study of designing equipment and devices that fit human bodies and cognitive abilities perfectly, is essential in creating spaces that not only look amazing but feel amazing too. Start off by purchasing an adjustable chair that firmly supports the natural curve of your spine, offering both lumbar and neck support to avoid strain during long hours of playback. Your desk should provide for comfortable wrist and hand positioning to reduce the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome, with your monitor set at eye level for minimal neck strain. Lighting is of utmost importance – it should be bright enough to reduce eye strain without becoming so harsh as to cause screen glare. Footrests may help maintain an upright and relaxed posture that lowers leg and back discomfort risks. An ergonomic gaming space should go beyond physical comfort to provide mental stimulation as well. An engaging space should reflect personal tastes, creating feelings of relaxation and readiness while adding elements like plants that improve air quality and add a soothing element – turning your gaming space into more than just a place for playing but a space for rejuvenation and focus.
In the world of gaming aesthetics, RGB lighting stands as an icon of customization that transforms mundane hardware into vibrant displays of hues that bring life and joy into any gaming environment. “RGB All The Things!” is more than a catchphrase – it’s a movement within the gaming community that advocates using red, green and blue lighting to create customized color combinations according to one’s taste and preference. RGB technology has expanded well beyond peripherals to become an integral component of keyboards, mice, motherboards, PC cases and memory modules. RGB’s appeal lies not only in its visual beauty, but also in its capacity to reflect a gamer’s identity and mood. Software control of lights allows for an impressive amount of customization, enabling them to respond to game sounds or music as well as sync up with other RGB devices to create an immersive atmosphere and heighten gameplay experience. RGB lighting offers many advantages for gaming setups. From matching room aesthetics and preferences, to setting specific hues that may reduce eye strain during extended gaming sessions. With such personal expression, functionality, and immersive experiences in mind, RGB lighting stands as a vital part of creating the ultimate gaming setup and encapsulating modern gaming culture.
Audio can make or break a gaming setup, and high-quality sound design can add significantly to the immersive and overall gaming experience. Many gamers depend on sound as an integral component of gameplay, providing important cues and enriching virtual worlds with additional depth. An investment in an excellent sound system or gaming headset could make a real difference! Surround sound systems or headsets with spatial audio technologies provide players with a significant competitive edge by providing accurate directional cues that enable them to detect opponents before they even come into view. Furthermore, these devices’ rich audio can draw gamers deeper into virtual environments, making every explosion, whisper, and musical score come alive with striking clarity and intensity. Gaming’s emotional resonance can often be traced to its soundtrack and sound effects, reinforcing narrative and gameplay dynamics. For streamers and those engaging in multiplayer experiences, headsets with built-in microphones provide clear communication among teammates – something essential for coordination in competitive games. Therefore, adding high-quality sound equipment to one’s gaming setup is more than an upgrade – it is an absolute requirement if one wishes to immerse themselves fully into gaming adventures.

Not only can this add an exciting dimension to the gaming experience, but it can also give streamers an incredible opportunity to form communities of followers who share an interest for similar games.

Consider signing up for online courses or tutorials led by professional gamers who can provide insights and strategies tailored specifically to the game of your choice. Engaging in community workshops or webinars provides you with an invaluable opportunity to draw upon the collective experiences of other players and gain from their wisdom. Concerning tools, upgrade your internet connection for enhanced gaming performance and reduced lag, providing the competitive edge needed in fast-paced games. Combining dedicated practice with these tools and resources will not only increase your gaming prowess but will also significantly enhance your online gaming experience.
Purchasing a gaming account may seem like an attractive shortcut to quickly progress in an online game, offering access to higher level characters and rare items – however this move comes with significant risks that need to be carefully considered before taking the plunge. First and foremost, purchasing accounts violates the terms of service for many games, which could result in your account being banned and leaving you out of pocket and without access. Furthermore, buying accounts comes with risks – there are many scam sellers on the internet hoping to take advantage of eager gamers looking for new accounts. Without a secure transaction method, both you and your account could be at risk of being stolen. Furthermore, organic gaming provides the satisfaction and achievement that makes gaming enjoyable, earning levels and items organically adds much satisfaction.

By following the advice outlined above, you’re not just elevating your gaming experience – you’re revolutionizing it, making every second spent before the screen as enjoyable, captivating, and stimulating as possible. In gaming’s realm of possibility, the next level may not always lie in what’s at the game level but in how one experiences them.
