Out This Week 8/24

The latest from Australian band Royal Headache doesn't hurt KEXP's ears: our Music Director Don Yates calls it, "another first-rate set of urgent, soul-steeped garage-rock and post-punk, combining buzzing guitars and energetic rhythms with emotive lyrics and lead singer Shogun’s gritty, soulful vocals." Dirty Projectors bassist/vocalist Angel Deradoorian, or just Deradoorian, releases her solo debut, "an often-enchanting set of psych-tinged avant-pop inflected with traditional Japanese, East Indian, Middle Eastern and other influences from around the globe. The album combines a haunting, trance-inducing sound with her crystalline, elastic vocals and lyrics of self-exploration."

In local music this week, Seattle singer/songwriter Noah Gundersen releases his sophomore full-length, a "well-crafted set of mostly dark, brooding folk-pop combining a stark, mostly slow-burning sound with Gundersen’s husky, intimate vocals and existential lyrics of self-discovery." He'll be LIVE on KEXP on Friday, September 4th at 9:30 AM PT. And another local artist, Briana Marela, shares her third album, recorded in Iceland with Sigur Ros producer Alex Somers, who "helps provide her with a haunting, atmospheric sound to frame her breathy vocals and wide-eyed lyrics."

Veteran Boston band Barrence Whitfield & The Savages shares another "first-rate, high-energy blend of primal R&B, raucous jump blues and old-school garage-rock." LA-via-Santa Barbara duo Gardens & Villa -- featuring Chris Lynch and Adam Rasmussen -- share a third album that's an "adventurous, if somewhat erratic, blend of sci-fi prog-pop and jittery post-punk."
