In fact this record is downright HARD! It really knocks, & Mick’s delivery is more cutting, more aggressive than we ever remember hearing… RECOMMENDED. It’s also a bit of a departure, showcasing Jenkin’s excellent ear with some less jazzy beats. If you’ve been listening to Mick Jenkins for a while, you know that he usually crafts his records with a dense & connected theme, & The Patience continues that trend with a record that sees an MC reacting to a changing world. > MICK JENKINS – The Patience LP/CD (BMG) *Opaque Yellow Vinyl – August 23 album now available ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶ Sweden’s now long-running psych rock collective gets a bit more mellow, trading in noise guitar freakouts and faux-tribal workouts for swampy, chugging acid motorik that can sound a bit like classic BLACK ANGELS (or at their most uptempo a bit of KIKAGAKU MOYO). > GOAT – Medicine LP (Rocket Recordings) *Color Vinyl Fans of early 90s shoegaze, Flying Nun bands like THE CHILLS & THE BATS, INTERPOL, UNREST etc… should check this out. You can hear hints of their past but like the SLOWDIVE reunion records, this band is making new music, not just rehashing their old sound. This record surprised us right out of the gate with tight arrangements, memorable songs & an overall confidence that you wouldn’t expect after a 30 year break. Tiktok & streaming has been very kind to a few shoegaze vets like SLOWDIVE & DUSTER & supposedly even early 90s band DROP NINETEENS saw a big enough bump in plays to consider getting the band back together & we’re really glad that they did.
