We made it through another week, friends, and not only that we've made it to another Bandcamp Friday. Here at What's Good, on every Friday I bring you some of the best music from around the web, and this Friday Bandcamp forgoes their profit share directly to the artists and labels that use their platform. That means more bread in their pockets, which makes it a perfect time to cop some new shit by going through today's post.
There's brand new joints that you can buy right now from NxWorries, Fabiana Palladino, La Luz, Khruangbin, Radamiz, Bacchae, Mamaleek, Blueprint, Devin Morrison, and much more. On top of that, even artists that aren't releasing anything new today have some deals for you. A few that just hit my inbox include:
- Couch Slut's entire digital discography (not including the pre-order for You Could Do It Tonight) is PWYW - I highly recommend Take A Chance On Rock And Roll
- All physicals for Bless Picasso's upcoming album The Rillest in the Room have free shipping
- Donwill's Sketchpad LP is $5
- Anything from Illingsworth's Bandcamp catalog available for 50% with the code "bandcamp" at check out
But even if today's post isn't enough, there's a huge backlog that you can check out in the archives. Just hit up any of the playlists I've put together on Tidal, YouTube, or conveniently enough in BNDCMPR, then when you find something you like, head on over to Bandcamp and buy you some.
Before we get into the joints, let's take a look at a few Bonus Beats.
Bonus Beats
90s British rock legends Lush have a new tour documentary streaming on the Criterion Channel, comprised of Super-8 footage from the band's bassist Phil King called "A Far From Home Movie." Along with the streaming premiere, you can cop two movie posters on the band's Bandcamp and from 4AD.
Kim Kelly's metal newsletter Salvo is here! If you're like me you might've gotten to know her from her stellar writing on labor rights and unions, but her heart's always been with metal, and Salvo's a place for her to cover it her way. Tap in with her for this first missive, where she talks about what led her to start the newsletter, her plans for its future, and Bolt Thrower.
Lukah's tour diary for his Black Temples run in the UK with Stooky Bros is live in full on YouTube, with interviews performance footage, and slices of life from stops in Glasgow, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, and London. If you haven't already, check out his excellent release with Real Bad Man from last week, Temple Needs Water. Village Needs Peace.
And now, onto this week's music.
...but you can still cop you some good music. For one, if you aren't crying in the club to this new Fabiana Palladino, you should fix that, expeditiously.
The new Marv Won knocks.
And the new Khruangbin is lovely from front to back.
Also, if you like Heavy Metal, you should be signed up for Kim Kelly's new newsletter Salvo.
Check out the full drop, and please let me know if you find something you wouldn't have otherwise.
