The Lord + Petra Haden

Well here's a bitchin' collaboration i would never have thought of.  "Devotional" is the new LP from The Lord, AKA Greg Anderson of Sunn O))), Goatwhore, and Southern Lord Records, and singer and violinist Petra Haden of That Dog and The Rentals fame.  Haden provides lyric-less vocals over Anderson's drone and metal guitar tones to glorious, delirious, almost religious effect.  Check out the album closing "The End of Absence" below and get the record here from Southern Lord.

The Rentals

The Rentals have been releasing a new track every couple of weeks pretty much since the year began, and last Friday finally released their new and epic album "Q36."  Stuffed to the brim with ideas, the space pop album is an infectious toe tapper.  Check out the album close "Elon Musk Is Making Me Sad" below and download the album here.

The Rentals

It looks like we're getting new music from The Rentals next year.  Cool.  It seems like it's been a spell since we last heard from Matt Sharp.  Check out the appropriate space rock vibes of "Spaceships" below and go ahead and pre-order next June's "Q36" double LP here from the artist.
