Albums Recommendations:

The first album I want to cover is Tyler The Creator's brand new album, CHROMAKOPIA. It may be a bit soon to say this, but I think this may be his best album. While my favorite is still IGOR, this new one is a whole new level of maturity and, honestly, lyrically. That, paired with the incredibly airtight and lush production, makes this album well worth your time and absolutely deserving of multiple listens. Check it out here.

Up next is Kalediscope, the new album by TURQUOISEDEATH. Their brand of drum & bass is incredibly lush and well-produced, sometimes bordering on shoegaze with the wall of sound mixes. And that's not to say that this ain't groovy because it most certainly is. The album starts innocuously, but as it goes along, it only continues to grow and become more extravagant, with the final song on the album being 10 minutes long. This one is a must; give it a listen here.

Finally, the last album I recommend is MGMT's Loss of Life. It's been 6 years since the band released their wildly popular album Little Dark Age, and this most recent one is remarkable. The production seems to be heavily inspired by psychedelic and rock records from the 90s, which is a bit of new territory for them. They also bring a surprising amount of sincerity on the lyrical side of things, which is an exciting change of pace from a band that tends to present as being ironically detached and cynical. This album was well worth the wait; go listen to it here.

That's all for now. I'll have some new music for you on the WRIF HD2 at 8 p.m. I'll see you then.
