Every Friday, 88Nine music director Erin Wolf and Lilliput Records co-owner Tanner Musgrove tell you about the new albums you can\u2019t miss on a new episode of On Vinyl. Check out their top picks and a list of this week\u2019s other releases, and listen to their full conversation using the player on this page or on the 88Nine airwaves at 1 p.m. every Friday.<\/i><\/p>\n
This Friday, we get a little weird, a little jangly and blazingly honest (tbh, that\u2019s a typical day for us).<\/p>\n
On the weirder side of the spectrum, Animal Collective makes a semi-return via member Brian Weitz\u2019 project Geologist and a new album that\u2019s an enjoyable, hurdy gurdy-fueled sonic adventure. The U.K. gives us two nostalgia-laden, jangle-rockers in Lande Hekt and Tulpa, and we finally (finally!) get a vinyl version of that new Lilly Allen album everyone is still talking about.<\/p>\n
Happy New Music Friday!<\/p>\n
Geologist, <\/b>Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re a fan of punk-ish indie art-pop group Animal Collective, this one from Geologist will get you at least part of the way to the full A.C. experience. Weitz called in his Collective mate Dave Portner (aka Avey Tare) to play bass, and gets similarly high-quality help from Alianna Kalaba of FACS and Chan Marshall of Cat Power on drums.<\/p>\n Lead single \u201cTonic\u201d centers on an instrument called a hurdy gurdy, a transformative performance of which Weitz saw from by Keiji Haino at NYC venue Tonic in the late \u201990s. This album is a tribute to that occasion and includes a double-LP version on classic black via Drag City Records at any record shop near you.<\/p>\n Lande Hekt, <\/b>Lucky Now<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to revel in swirling shoegaze, twee and a good dose of nostalgia, Hekt\u2019s first new music in three years is a good place to turn your gaze (and ears). She shared of her influences that \u201cI was listening to a lot of The Bats and The Chills. It probably sounds nothing like any of that Flying Nun stuff, but that was what was inspiring me at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n If you\u2019re also into that Flying Nun stuff, we bet you\u2019ll love this album. Lucky Now<\/i> comes in cherry red vinyl, but only if you get one of the first 300 copies. After the limited edition runs out, there\u2019ll be a basic black version via Tapete Records.<\/p>\n
