Greatest Hits … This Week (Vol. 338) contains multitudes.
By Kevin Bronson for Buzzbands.la
First, we have new singles from the likes of Rocket, Jade Bird, Wavves, Night Talks, Career Woman and Bandie. Then, we have tracks from 11 (that’s eleven) new full-lengths. In no particular order: Alexandra Savior, Your Grandparents, Bouquet, Emotional Oranges, Windser, Madame Gandhi, Alejandro Aranda, Lia Braswell, Hooveriii, Spill Tab, Sonja Midtune and Romantic Dividends. Not to mention songs from just-issued EPs by the likes of Theo Moss, Swimming Bell, MIEU, Kilo Kish, Leo Lauren and Ava Maybee. And because boldface doesn’t cost anything, we could also name-check Annahstasia, Ronboy, Nelson Bragg and Triptides. But we still would not have mentioned everybody. (And we probably missed someone.)
■ Madame Gandhi, “Take Your Time!” — “It is about flow. It is about acceptance. It is about existing without pushback,” Kiran Gandhi says of “Let Me Be Water” (out today), her sophomore album as Madame Gandhi. “I do feel very much like a butterfly out of the cocoon on the other side. I feel more in my power energy, and when we show up for ourselves, it ends up being medicine for others.” Ten brisk songs (none longer than 2 1/2 minutes), co-produced and performed by Gandhi and composed by 50 women and gender-expansive creatives, it’s percussion-driven positivity. Live Aug. 8 at the Fonda Theatre, opening for Femi Kuti & the Positive Force.
