Welcome to the latest installment of Five Albums, the weekly feature for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we review 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.
Corus is a social app for sharing and discovering music. Post your favorite songs and match with people that share your taste. Follow @hearingthings on the app too!
The projects at the center of this week's Five Albums either retreat into their own little worlds or use (more than) a bit of themselves to color the world we all occupy. One of our two Must Hears of the week sprawls across genre, time, and space–when was the last time you heard an artist who could channel Kendrick Lamar, St. Vincent, drum’n’bass, and jock jams on one album?
