On the program of musical releases this week, rock, pop and covers.
It’s spring and like buds, musical projects are blooming. This Friday, April 5, music release day, there is still something for everyone with new records, covers and comebacks. This week, in the section of unmissable musical releases, we obviously note Pete Doherty’s Libertines, who reward us with the disc called All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, but also Only God Was Above Us, the new album from Vampire Weekend.
Also note the album of covers Once upon a time Polnareff, in which the singer is honored by numerous artists, including Apple, Indochina, Voyou, Catherine Ringer or Laurent Voulzy. And finally, we end this playlist with two singles: that of Hervé and L’Impératrice. Plug in the speakers, turn up the volume, here is the playlist of this week’s releases:
The Libertines – All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade
The Libertines, led by Pete Doherty, release the group’s fourth album this Friday, and the first in nine years: All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade. An ambitious record of eleven tracks, including the singles released in recent weeks and which we have already talked about here: Run, Run, Run Or Night of the Hunter. And a few nuggets, including the song Man With the Melodyenhancing the rediscovered voice of Pete Doherty.
Vampire Weekend – Only God Was Above Us
We stay in the rock section, but from across the Atlantic this time, with Only God Was Above Usthe new record by the American group Vampire Weekend, released almost five years after the previous one, Father of the Bride. The New York indie rock trio delivers ten new tracks here and “one of their best” albums, according to American critics, notably the The New Yorker.
Once upon a time there was Polnareff
