#221: Soccer Mommy, “Color Theory”

This is going to be a long one! We were tired of snubbing over half an hour of music almost every week due to the sheer amount of great singles and albums coming out this season. This means you have two hours of new music to listen to until next Wednesday. Our highlight of the week is Soccer Mommy’s “Color Theory”, her sophomore (properly released) record which pretty much sums up what an indie rock album will like in the 2020s. Plus: brand new tracks by Jessie WareMargaret GlaspyBrooke BenthamTristenHazel EnglishBrigid Mae PowerThe Secret SistersPhoebe BridgersJess WilliamsonLand of TalkKatie PruittHailey WhittersTami NeilsonSam DooresDamien JuradoKikagaku MoyoArchers of LoafMoaningWoodsWestern CenturiesLoose KooziesMatt LaJoieJeremy CunninghamChristian Kjellvander official & TonbruketMoses SumneyKevin KrauterJarvis Cocker, and Perfume Genius.

NOS Primavera Sound 2019

  • Hugo Lima / NOS Primavera Sound

It’s starting to be too common: no matter how warm and sunny it is in the week leading up to the festival, NOS Primavera Sound (NPS) is doomed to be ruined by at least one day of rain. The first day did not look promising after the announcement of the passage of depression Miguel (no, not the rnb star who performed there a couple of years ago) through the north of Portugal. Flights were cancelled, Ama Lou and Peggy Gou could not reach Porto in time to perform, strong winds and rain showers threatened to turn Parque da Cidade into a muddy mess, the gates were opened almost an hour later than it was scheduled.
