Monthly Mix: May 2016

Radiohead dives into A Moon Shaped Pool


     Spring is in full swing and the birds and wildlife have come alive. May brought a heavy dose of sunshine and also a dazzling array of new music.
     English mega-rockers Radiohead are back in the fold with their latest album A Moon Shaped Pool [May 8, via XL]. The album is in the same sonic vein as some of its recent predecessors, focusing on frontman Thom Yorke's haunting voice and eerie synths. On the single "Burn The Witch", the band builds up a harmonious string symphony as Yorke warns not to shoot the messenger. Check them out on tour as they swing through the UK and the United States with big stops at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits.
     It's good to know that the summer is right around the corner and the grills will be fired up soon. The May Playlist serves as the perfect soundtrack for those sunny afternoon barb-b-ques.

Monthly Mix: June 2015

Muse launches Drones

   
     The summer is officially here, and thankfully for us, a boat-load of fresh new music came down the pipeline just in time for the backyard barbecues.
     English mega-rockers Muse are back in the fold with their latest offering Drones [June 5, via Warner Bros.]. Frontman Matt Bellamy explains the new album as "more politically charged" and "has less synths and computers" than their previous three albums. This can be heard on the loud rocker "Mercy" which features the band's vintage heavy bass and Bellamy's operatic singing style. Check them out as their tour treks through Europe, Japan, and South America.
     It's good to know there is a fresh batch of tunes to refill the mp3 players on these warm summer nights. Whether mowing the lawn, or lounging by the pool, the June Playlist provides the perfect soundtrack.
