QOTSA - The Way You Used To Do

Is love mental disease or lucky fever dream?
Fine with either
Gave birth to monsters who will terrorize normalcy, yeah
They'll terrorize

QOTSA's last album, 2013's Like Clockwork, is a masterpiece and a classic. So, you might expect, I'm excited to get some new music from them. They've got a couple of singles out in advance of the release of Villians and they're solid. Use those ears to take in today's Most Important, "The Way You Used To Do" and then use your eyes to oggle that sweet album art.

Cherry Glazerr - Trash People

My carpet smells like beer forever, forever
If all the people dressed like sheeple
There would be no color, no color
Those are my people
There would be no color, no color
Those are my people

My first thought upon hearing Cherry Glazerr, was something along the lines of "damn, this reminds me of The Donnas." That's a very good thing. It'd been awhile since I'd listened to The Donnas, but they're a lot of fun. Turns out Cherry Glazerr may have less in common with The Donnas than they do with acts like Honeyblood, Diet Cig and La Sera, but, hey, that's cool too. Their latest album, Apocalipstick, is fantastic and much more diverse than I'd originally expected with quite a few stand outs.

New Politics - CIA

Curse me, it's alright
Your words don't add to the status quo
And I'm best friends with my shadow
There's no more room on this pedestal

Oh, hey, I was born a sinner
Michelin Star for dinner
Never been good as a quitter
I push this feed like a Segway

Danish alt band New Politics ended their year long silence following the success of their first album and tour with a jaunty pop rock track back in March (and a cool accompanying video paying homage to Kanye, Kendrick Lamar & the Beastie Boys -- bonus, below). This month they followed that up with announcement that their second LP, Lost in Translation will be released in October - and along with the announcement came "CIA" And with these new releases, I'm officially looking forward to hearing their full sophomore effort this fall.
