In case you missed these new releases from September, I’ve put together some notes on several rock albums that flew under the radar last month. Special mention goes to Ciśnienie for [angry noises], a selection of unsettling and jarring Polish jazz-punk-and what sounds like a rusty saw-fusion. It’s only available on BandCamp, and I voluntarily paid $5 for a digital download because it’s just that good.
‘You’re Weird Now’ — Guerilla Toss
Guerilla Toss’ fifth album, You’re Weird Now, was released on September 12. It embodies a quintessential weirdness (complimentary) that the band has come to fully embrace. Produced by Stephen Malkmus, who contributed to two tracks, Guerilla Toss crafted a new type of NYC avant garde. More like art rock for the new era that’s unapologetically hard to define
