Happy new music Friday! A rare day where I have no picks of the week, but rather a stack of albums that I want to get to and that seem up my alley. Seems like a particularly interesting day for heavy stuff and out-there/ambient/etc. kind of records to me.
If you like indie rock:
Morpho, Deaf Lingo, Straw Man Army all sound nice to me and will be on my list of records to check out. The latter had a year-end contending album in 2022 so excited to hear the new one.
A bit of a mix of heavy and indie stuff, thereβs a release from Secret World that has me wondering if Drug Church-core is now an official genre? Not complaining. See also: the emo-grunge of Mud Whale.
Tippy tappy mathy emo band Tiny Moving Parts have a new one out there today as well.
If you like heavy stuff:
The Full of Hell release seems to be on a lot of new release lists out there today. Also releases by Veilburner, Ignorance, Mammoth Grinder, The Mosiac Window, MUGGER and more.
If you have more out-there tastes:
Iβm in a bit of a mood today so I think my main priorities this morning will be the Earthen Sea and Agile Experiments albums. The former sounds ambient and textural in a way that scratches my brain nicely so far today.
What are you excited to listen to? What am I missing from my list? Let me know!
As always, please reach out on the hellsite (or the newer lesser evil hellsite). Better yet join the Rosy Overdrive Discord server where I can be found now and again. You can also find me in the corners of Rate Your Music scrounging for obscure emo, hardcore, indie-rock and pop-punk.

As always, some great recommendations in here! Earthen Sea was perfect for my night time drive, and I also really enjoyed Agile Experiments, Queen Serene and Tomo Katsurada. Cheers!
I'd also recommend The Circular Train by Ava Mendoza, solo electric guitar that draws heavily from old blues but with her particular spin on it and her incredible chops.
