New Releases for January 14th, 2022

LUMINEERS BRIGHTSIDE LP

“What separates Brightside from albums past is a raw quality, like sitting in on a jam session. Strings are sparse, instead relying on piano, percussion and guitar to carry the record. Songs like the stripped down “AM Radio” with its acoustic guitar lead in have a simplicity that allow the craftsmanship to shine.” - AP News

BONOBO FRAGMENTS CD/LP

“His last album, released a decade-and-half into his career, was his most commercially successful work yet and ‘Fragments’ has similar momentum and potential; this is the most engaging record Green has released since 2010’s ‘Black Sands’ – it is light, airy and remarkably well pieced together.” - NME

CAT POWER COVERS CD/LP

“Featuring songs by Frank Ocean, Lana Del Rey, Nick Cave, and more, Chan Marshall’s third collection of covers is her widest ranging yet, illustrating her talent for radical reinvention.” - Pitchfork

RICHARD HELL & THE VOIDOIDS BLANK GENERATION LP

“Hell's debut album, Blank Generation, remains one of the most powerful to come from punk's first wave, those anticipating a Ramones/Dead Boys-style frontal assault from this set had better readjust their expectations. "Love Comes in Spurts" and "Liars Beware" proved the Voidoids could play fast and loud when they wanted to, but for the most part this group's formula was much more complicated than that.” -Allmusic

WHITNEY HOUSTON I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU: THE BEST OF… LP

“Fifty-five million records sold in America. A voice that carried not only Houston’s spirit, but the genetic code of gospel-singing mother Cissy Houston and cousin Dionne Warwick, with godmother Aretha Franklin’s influence. Hearing Whitney Houston’s phrasing — the way in which she breathed the lyrics out — you could hear both the church and the playground in her.” - The LA times

OTIS REDDING BEST OF OTIS REDDING LP

“In his five short years as a professional entertainer, his incomparable voice and vocal persona established him as soul music’s foremost apostle of devotion, a singer who implored his listeners to “try a little tenderness” with a ferocity that defied the meaning of the word.” - The New Yorker
