Albums in Stores – Nov. 30th, 2018

Jason Tate

Hmm, an album by a band called The 1975 comes out today. It seems to be getting almost universal praise, even from the publications that were once too cool for the band. And the praise is completely deserved. This is one of those albums you’re going to remember for years. Groundshakingly good while being an almost uncanny reflection of the time we live in. I welcome everyone to the fan club; there’s room for all.

William Ryan Key’s new EP is also out today, which also gets my full recommendation. If you hit read more you can see all the releases we have in our calendar for the week.

In a follow up to this post, Pabst Blue Ribbon won’t be going away:

Pabst Brewing and MillerCoors have ended a legal dispute that had put the fate of Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schlitz, and other blue-collar beers in doubt, reaching a settlement as a jury considered their case. Under the deal, MillerCoors will continue to brew the beers under contract for Pabst.

The Rebirth of The 1975

The 1975
Jason Tate

Rolling Stone sat down with The 1975:

That’s because, even as they prepare to tour A Brief Inquiry, the 1975 are hard at work on their next album, Notes on a Conditional Form, which they hope to release in June. “Notes is a U.K. nighttime record,” he says, citing the Streets and Burial as touchstones. “I’ve spent so much of my life in vans and cars, stopping off at a McDonald’s when you don’t want McDonald’s. I wanted to make a record that reminds me of that.”
