New Music – May 20, 2022

It’s SPICE day. That’s thrilling for me and the record doesn’t disappoint. It’s a little more downbeat than the first LP but has some strong hooks nonetheless. Elsewhere, new Cave in! That’s still weird to say since it seemed like they were extremely finished as a band in 2011, and then again in 2019. Sounds good though, so everyone should be happy about that.
