Hello, music lovers! 🎶
It's time for fresh music again! It's Friday, and the #newtunes selection of new songs is here for you to listen to over the weekend and beyond.
Well-known and lesser-known musicians are working at full steam, and if you have a few minutes, you can listen to them!
Maybe you'll like something, but if not, skip it.

A Place To Bury Strangers - Disgust
Synthesizer is the seventh album by Brooklyn-based A Place To Bury Strangers, also known as the loudest band in New York. Here, they deal with the use of AI in music and, incidentally, reject it outright. This term, loudest, is outdated and no longer in the zeitgeist. Still, the overall sound picture is nevertheless sharp and uncompromising. They still have a lot to say. I recommend the whole album.
Błoto - Muchomor
Błoto is a Polish future-jazz quartet that released its fourth album, Grzybnia, in mid-October. The sound is a specific amount avant-garde, but some tradition also enters. The quartet is meant to draw attention to the polarisation of social communities in the 21st century. Grzybnia (Mycelium) is a metaphor for cooperation, the basis for coexistence in the modern world. Ufff.
Adrian Younge - Human Absence
Adrian Younge is an Emmy Award-winning composer, musician, studio engineer, and producer from Los Angeles, USA. He has collaborated with many well-known names in soul and jazz, perhaps best known for his work with Ali Shaheed Mohammad on Jazz Is Dead.
Adrian Younge presents Linear Labs: São Paolo, his new compilation of collaborations. The song Human Absence is an instrumental, recorded with a thirty-piece orchestra, ringing guitars, funky rhythms, and cinematic arrangements.
Julián Mayorga - La muerte del perro
Julián Mayorga is an avant-garde Colombian singer-songwriter who has lived and worked in Madrid, Spain, for the last ten years. This is a new name for me. His ninth album, Chak Chak Chak Chak, was released last week, and he played, sang, and recorded it in its entirety. He calls himself an "Experimental song destroyer. Minor poet. Music villain."
A mix of post-Cumbia psychedelics, Technicolor beats, and, at times, polyrhythmic Dadaism popped with humor and passion, resulting in modern music that won't leave some untouched. I recommend the whole album.
Djrum - Codex
Djrum is a British flutist and DJ. His fourth album, Meaning's Edge, is out today (after five years). He introduces flutes into electronic music, including Bansuri, Shakuhachi, and Western Classical. He synthesizes and mixes them with hyperspeed singles and dance music from Tanzania. This is definitely suitable for electronic beat connoisseurs.
Bloc Party - Flirting Again
Bloc Party is an English indie rock band from London, UK. It has performed since 1999 and has released six albums, the last in 2022. Their rock flirts with electronica and house, as can be heard on this single, released in July this year. I don't know if this is an announcement of a new album.
Kim Deal - Nobody Loves You More
I wouldn't particularly like to introduce Kim Deal. The Pixies and Breeders icon, after forty years of music and fifteen albums in the bands above, today released her first (I wouldn't say debut, but solo) album Nobody Loves You More. The song of the same name is the album's opening track, and no commentary is needed. This song will last forever.
Laibach: WHITE CHRISTMAS
Finally, to remind you of something that is coming and is already being advertised. The band is from the local region and has recycled everything that can be recycled in music.
A new interpretation of a traditional event, original producer Rico Conning. When we listen to Laibach, there is usually something to do with geopolitics and the spirit of the times, which takes on its meaning later. The song was released yesterday.
🎶That's all for today, and enjoy your weekend with new songs!

I've never come across any of these songs before but I'm glad I did today. Thanks for sharing.
To be honest, I wouldn't particularly want to be buried next to the speakers of A Place to Bury Strangers right now.
Błoto's music gets my pulse racing and makes me feel a bit nervous, but in a good way.
If there were not Laibach, Adrian Younge would be the standout act in today's performances. When I read São Paulo, I had some concerns (bossa nova, tropicalia). Fortunately, they hadn't been confirmed.
Julián Mayorga should come to my village when the chickens move from the coop to the soup pot. There would be completely different sounds.
Kim Deal used to be more exciting.
Now you're serving me the heroes of the retro avant-garde with a version in which they haven't even changed the lyrics. What's happened? Laibach should be elevated to the high pedestal of the #ttt stage. The problem is that three songs are never enough.
