Music for the Rapture (Not Today)
Free jazz, ambient drone, doomy metal, and other sounds you need to ascend.
Welcome to the latest installment of Five Albums, the weekly feature for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we discuss a handful of new records catching our attention. As music journalists, the question we get most often from friends is how to stay on top of what’s happening now. This is our attempt to provide a practical answer.
This week we’ve got three glorious Must Hears and a rare “Maybe Don’t,” as we further expand our Five Albums newsletter to include the occasional new release that we might not recommend, but which provokes our thoughts. Come for the beautiful and life-changing jams, stay for the gimlet-eyed assessments of conspiracy-theory rap!
