We are to the end of our first month and the new releases have been a little limited and nothing that jumps out as blowing me away yet (but since I wrote this before the January 24th releases have come out, there could have been something out then, but the only one I want is Revolution Saints so we will see). This week has a lot of releases and a little something for everyone…but me really. You get pop, metal, rock, indie, christian, jazz and country, so a bit of everything. I hope there is something for you. Mine are normally highlighted in Blue, but there is nothing I am running out and getting this week. I need to save money so that is a good thing.
Theory of a Deadman – Say Nothing – (Roadrunner Records) – A Canadian rock band sign to Chad Kroeger’s record label…enough said…or the less said the better…either way.
Dashboard Confessional – The Best Ones of the Best Ones – (Hidden Note AWAL) – Were they emo, indie, alt rock??? I am not sure…all of the above. This is a greatest hits album and if you are a casual fan, then this would be great place to begin.
Joseph – The Sessions: Vol. 1 E.P. – (ATO Records): This trio are really talented. I saw them open for James Bay and they sounded amazing. Great harmonies and really fantastic. Not my cup of tea normally, but worth a shot.
Louis Tomlinson – Walls – (78 Productions LTD / Simco / Sony): The guy from One Direction…okay, one of the guys. Need I say more??
And all the rest….
We are Messengers – Power – (Curb / Word Entertainment)
Clint Lowery – God Bless the Renegades – (Rise Records)
Lordi – Killelection – (AFM Records)
Serenity – The Last Knight – (Napalm Records)
Marc Almond – Chaos and a Dancing Star – (BMG Rights)
Gary Moore – Live from London – (Mascot Label Group)
Drive-By Truckers – The Unraveling – (ATO Records)
Matt Redman – Let There Be Wonder (Live) – (Integrity Music)
Joey Alexander – Warna – (Verve Records)
Meghan Trainor – Treat Myself – (Epic Records / Sony)

I am most interested in the new release from Japanese math rock band Tricot.

A Math rock band??? I’m intrigued now.

Math rock has been round for a while – it kind of takes the abrasion of post-punk and the complexity of progressive rock, and mixes them together.

I remember really liking the acoustic guitars on a dashboard track from 15-20 years ago, Screaming infidelities. Though I never explored further, so perhaps like you said, this might be the place to start!

I never dived in to them much, but I would dig a song every now and again. I will give it a spin to see what they have to offer and if it is worth diving deeper.

I saw Incubus dropped one as well. Not sure if you like them or not.

That’s usually the case…except when a Van Halen album was due. They always seemed to come in January.

I’ll likely give the Gary Moore live one a listen, but I’d forgotten that the Drive-By Truckers had an album coming out… thanks for the reminder!
