Monthly Roundup June 2017

Hi Everybody! Welcome to our monthly roundup for June 2017! There was 1 extra Friday this month so there is just a little bit more music for you all us all to take in! Overall a pretty good month for releases. Below are some of the highlights amongst the highlights:

UPDATED: SPOTIFY LIST!

Dan Auerbach of Black Keys fame put out an excellent chilled out album that echoes some of the best work by Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty!

Richard Dawson returns with a song cycle about old timey Europe which sounds like what would happen if Robert Wyatt fronted The Incredible String Band.

Mutoid Man followed up their decent first album with this monster of an album. Almost sounds like Maynard from Tool fronting a harder Queens of the Stone Age in parts. Some may find the vocals annoying but I think they all add up to create one of the most fun rocking albums of the year, very much like The Pleaser by Harvey Milk.

Wheeler Walker Jr. returns with another slice of pervy rauncheriffic country tunes to blow your hair back. NSF anywhere.

The Secret Sisters perfected their formula of old timey country and close harmonies on their 3rd release. A must have for fans of older folk and country.

Thanks to Kevin Nelson for showing me Igorrr. This album is easily one of the most out there ridiculous things I have heard in a long time. This single musician blends Baroque classical music, opera, metal and breakbeat techno to create something wholly original. If you are into hearing something truly unique you must listen to this album.

Colin Stetson surprises with this release. He teams up with Greg Fox of Liturgy fame to make a really noisy nasty experimental metal/jazz album.
