Quickdraw: Japanese Breakfast, Small Black, Bachelor, Damien Jurado, Fog Lake, Anna Fox Rochinski

Enjoy.

Japanese Breakfast – Be Sweet

Japanese Breakfast’s follow-up to 2017’s very good Soft Sounds From Another Planet is called Jubilee and it’s going to be released on June 4. This first single, which was co-written by Jack Tatum (Wild Nothing), is a total 80s bop.

Small Black – The Bridge

I’m very much in love with this shimmery new one from Small Black. The band will release an album titled Cheap Dreams on April 9.

Bachelor – Anything At All

Jay Som and Palehound have teamed up to form Bachelor! As of now, the duo has not announced a debut full length, but they have at least rolled out this slinky pop tune.

Damien Jurado – Helena

Maraqopa Records is the name of Damien Jurado’s newly launched label, and the first album to be released on it will – of course – be one of his own. Look for The Monster Who Hated Pennsylvania on May 14.

Fog Lake – Jitterbug

A lo-fi track that’s somewhat about solitude? Why yes, I will take one of those here in this never-ending lockdown. Fog Lake’s Tragedy Reel is due out on April 23.

Anna Fox Rochinski – No Better / Cherry

Quilt’s Anna Fox Rochinski has readied her solo debut – the album is called Cherry and it’s going to be available everywhere on March 26. Both of the singles released so far have had a pretty neat avant-garde pop sound.
