Quickdraw: Kiwi Jr., Bloods, Ty Segall, Ian Sweet, Launder, Interpol
Enjoy.
Kiwi Jr. – Night Vision
Kiwi Jr. just announced a new album – Chopper will be out on August 12. I’m digging the Strokes-esque sound on the first single here. By the way, if you didn’t check out their 2021 release, Cooler Returns, you should.
Bloods – Thinking Of You Thinking Of Me
Here’s an inspired slice of power pop from Bloods. The band will release their new album, Together, Baby, on September 23.
Ty Segall – Saturday Pt 2
I don’t follow Ty Segall near as much as I used to, but this slow burner of his did manage to catch my attention. Segall’s new album, Hello, Hi, will be out on July 22. Also, if you’re in Austin, he’s playing the Mohawk on June 18.
Ian Sweet – Fight
Ian Sweet has a new EP that has a title – Star Stuff – but no release date yet. While that develops, jump on this swirling single.
Launder – Become (Featuring Soko)
I’m all about this shimmery and shoegazey effort from Launder (with a vocal assist from Soko). His debut album, Happening, will be out on July 15.
Interpol – Fables
For whatever reason, this is the first of Interpol’s 2022 singles that’s actually stuck with me. Maybe I should revisit the other ones? Anyhow, the band’s impending LP is titled The Other Side Of Make Believe and it’s due out July 15.
