Out This Week 7/27

It's been a long wait, but last week Montreal-born, Woodstock, NY-based artist Thomas Arsenault (aka Mas Ysa) released his debut full-length. (Watch his 2014 KEXP session here.) KEXP Music Director Don Yates calls the album, "a potent set of moody electro-pop with bright synths, propulsive rhythms, dramatic, tremulous vocals, emotive lyrics and epic sing-along choruses."

Gwenno, the solo debut album from the former Pipettes frontwoman, brings "an impressive set of psych-tinged space-pop with eerie analog synths, hypnotic rhythms, breathy vocals and dystopian lyrics of a totalitarian future. Seven of the album’s eight songs are sung in Welsh while the other is sung in Cornish."

Seattle-based band Grave Babies release their third album, "a fine set of dark, industrial-tinged goth-rock with buzzing, noisy synths, grinding guitars, stark industrial rhythms, gloomy vocals and dystopian lyrics." Guided By Voices frontman Robert Pollard shares a sophomore album from his project Ricked Wicky, "a stronger hard-rock/heavy metal edge to Pollard’s crunchy power-pop." Real Estate guitarist Matt Mondanile shares a new release from his solo project Ducktails, "a beautifully crafted, summery set of psych-tinged baroque pop." And legendary hip hop group Public Enemy return with their thirteenth full-length, their first new album in three years.
