Man that was a crazy vacation. I just got back from 3 weeks at home and in Mexico, which I should probably find time to write about this weekend. But let's just say I had literally zero time to sit in front of a computer and listen to new music, let along write about music. So that's why there were no blogs. And the last couple days have been pretty busy since I got back.
It was a pretty good time to not be paying attention to music, because none of the albums I was really looking forward to came out. So that was good. But there were plenty of new singles from some of those albums, like The National, Grizzly Bear and Moses Sumney. Not to mention new teases from Meshell Ndegeocello, Other Lives and Bon Iver on Istagram. But that still isn't new music. There was some very notable new music, though. Two very notable items, specifically. The first one came from Fink, who released Cracks Appear, the first album off his next album Resurgam, which will be out in September. And it's a good one. Back to what we're used to from him, after a slight (but good) departure on Fink's Sunday Night Blues Club, Vol. 1 from earlier this year. Nice to be back to what I love about him, though.
And then there was a new song from Daughter, called Burn It Down. Burn It Down is actually the first single off a video game soundtrack, which Daughter apparently scored. All the articles use the word scored, which would imply instrumental music, but then this single is basically just a Daughter track. So I'm not sure if the soundtrack will basically be a Daughter album, or if it'll be an instrumental Daughter album with some vocal songs also or what. I guess we just have to wait and see. The soundtrack is called Music From Before The Storm and is also out in September, so at least we don't have to wait so long to find out.
