RADIOHEAD A Moon Shaped Pool Recordings (XL Recordings) It’s the British band’s much anticipated ninth studio album and the follow-up to their 2011 LP ‘The King of Limbs. In the past weeks the band released a short animated film for the song “Burn The Witch.” Both songs came after the band deleted all posts from its Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, putting fans on high alert that something was about to happen. They had also dropped a new video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson for a song called “Daydreaming.” amoonshapedpool.com
ARBOR LABOR UNION I Hear You (Sub Pop) Arbor Labor Union was born from a peach tree in Georgia in the American south. They play psychedelic, repetitious, and joyful rock and roll music. In 2014 they released the album Sings for You Now under the name Pinecones. In 2016 they decided to change their name in order to form a more perfect union. A union of sound and vision. With this, they had a new album, a masterpiece of modern guitar music entitled simply I Hear You. I Hear You was crafted through the ancient process of collaboration. All four members brought their love to one another and turned it into song. The album plays like a freedom chant. You can hear laughter in their music. You can see the joy among them. In every known photo of the band they appear to be smiling. All that is left to do is listen. Listen to this album dedicated to listeners. And, should your response also be “I hear you,” the band replies, “affirmative, loud and clear.” I Hear You was recorded and produced by Randall Dunn (Earth, Sunn0), Thurston Moore, Black Mountain) and Arbor Labor Union in the fall of 2015 at Avast Studio in Seattle, WA. The album was mastered by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering. subpop.com/artists/arbor_labor_union
