Upcoming Album of the Week (Ending November 3, 2018)

Gwyneth Paltrow got married back in September, but details of her wedding came out this week. Among them was that Girl Talk served as the DJ for the reception. It's been almost a decade since we last got an album from the mash-up artists, though there have been a few EPs and collaborative singles since. Maybe the gig will spur him to release a new record; if that happens, check it out over at my Upcoming Releases page!

This week, Deerhunter announced their eighth album, Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?.

The latest album from the Atlanta-based "ambient punk" follows 2015's incredible Fading Frontier. The new album was recorded in Marfa, Texas and produced by Cate Le Bon (her bandmate from DRINKS, Tim Presley, also contributed to the record).

Deerhunter has consistently been one of my favorite bands with their previous three records all making it into my music rotation. Along with the album announcement, they also released a new song, "Death in Midsummer." Based on that song, I have every expectation that I'll love the new record just as much!

Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared? is set for release on January 18.
