Streaming Fridays: Hot Chip, The Melvins, and Thieving Irons
Sometimes the Internet is awesome. For instance, did you know that you can stream newly released albums before you buy them? Oh yeah! You totally can. Here are three albums streaming for free this week that we here at Beacon think you ought to take a listen to.
Like electronic music? Have a predilection for synthesizers and romantic lyrics? Then perhaps you should have a listen to Hot Chip’s fifth album, In Our Heads. This is an album that sounds like a neo-New Wave treatise, exploring the vast expanses of love in electrical pulses. To hear, lean you ears in this direction.
Punk forefathers, Black Flag influencers, and general bad-asses, The Melvins, have released a new album. What is that sound on the first track? Is it some kind of monstrous cello? Some harbinger of doom? Or the sound of greatness collapsing into your ear canals. Find out here.
The sonorous and, occasionally, somnambulant sounds of Brooklyn based Thieving Irons come to life on their second LP, Behold, This Dreamer! I’m rather partial to track #8 myself, something about a song called “Poison” just speaks to me. Determine for yourself here.
