Slowdive, Everything Is Alive (September 1)Īfter waiting 22 years for the Reading shoegazers to release their 2017 self-titled comeback, a six-year gap between LPs doesn’t seem like a big deal. The new record, which sees the DIY punk hero confronting a world both literally and politically on fire, was recorded at Hollywood’s historic EastWest Studios and with a bigger budget than Rosenstock typically gets, leading him to frame the project as his take on a major-label debut (even though it’s being released on indie Polyvinyl Records). Jeff Rosenstock’s album titles sketch an anxious crescendo: 2016’s Worry., 2020’s No Dream, then Hellmode. Of the early single offerings, “Where Do We Go From Here” - a bold, bright, and ridiculous anthem about the mindless bliss of the dance floor - is the standout. Ten years after their breakout Charli XCX–written hit, “I Love It,” the electropop duo return with Club Romantech, a new album filled with the same sleek silliness they perfected on their 2013 full-length. If “Planet of the Bass” is any indication, the world is ready for more Icona Pop. Before the leaves drop, mark your calendars.
That includes a young pop star aiming to eclipse her smash-hit debut, beloved indie-rockers returning to the styles of their earliest days, and, of course, a new-old Taylor Swift record, among plenty of other fantastic releases. It’s appropriate, then, that this fall’s crop of new albums contains a blend of belters and cozier fare across rock, rap, country, and more.
