Brooklyn duo CREEP are set to release their debut album, echoes, on August 13. A meticulously crafted set of ghostly tracks, the record sees producers/DJs Lauren Flax and Lauren Dillard at their finest. Each song features a guest vocalist collaborator, including Planningtorock, Romy xx, Sia, Tricky, and Andrew Wyatt.
Earlier this week, Teen Vogue premiered the official music video for “Boys” from Beach Day’s debut album Trip Trap Attack, out June 18 on Kanine Records. For the video, the Hollywood, Florida trio re-teamed with director Michael Ruiz-Unger (whom directed the band’s video for “Beach Day”) to capture an intimate look at the band.
A few of my favorite new releases this week, including the latest from !!!, Big Black Delta, Daughter, and the debut album from Sully and The Benevolent Folk. As always, be sure to visit Largehearted Boy for more new music.
