Music Recommendations for January 2020: Pt. 2

Another roundup of music recommendations for January from our followers! See part 1 here.

Nicholas Langley – Final Wave (Third Kind Records)

Tracks bob, twist, and weave and many unexpected ways. Electro in the broadest sense but always with an ear for the unorthodox and fun.

Elastica – Car Song (Geffen / DGC)

I MISS ELASTICA

via Petridisch

Disq – Collector (Saddle Creek)

Disq have assembled a razor-sharp, teetering-on-the-edge-of-chaos melange of sounds, experiences, memories, and influences. Due out March 6 on Saddle Creek, Collector ought to be taken literally—it is a place to explore and catalogue the Madison, Wisconsin band’s relationships to themselves, their pasts, and the world beyond the American Midwest as they careen from their teens into their 20s. This turbulence is backdropped by gnarled power pop, anxious post-punk, warm psych-folk, and hectic, formless, tongue-in-cheek indie rock.

Wet Tuna – Disco Bev (Three Lobed)
