new year and that means tons of brand new ... it s a brand new year and that means tons of brand new music is coming your way throughout the month of january wmua s staff has been compiling their list of the best of the best . from artists like aphex twin to bands like sleater kinney here is a hand picked selection of what we re listening to and what you should be listening to as well glitter priest summertime in babylon on one of the two and arguably far superior surprise miniature tigers side projects multi instrumentalist brandon lee shells out some awesome synth pop with his debut under the moniker glitter priest . it s fun it s dancy and it s really reminiscent of miniature tigers s 2014 release cruel runnings but with a far bigger sound . andrew desrochers general manager 91.1 wmua sleater kinney no cities to love no cities to love marks the first release in 10 years from the iconic pacific northwest trio . born and bred out of the 90s riot grrrl scene sleater kinney are still as relevant and needed today as they were 20 years ago . as can be expected sleater kinney deliver potent and insightful lyrics paired with masterful musicianship from tucker weiss and brownstein on this perfect follow up to 2005 s the woods . tucker and brownstein absolutely shred providing powerful riffs while weiss delivers effortless driving percussion . additionally tucker and brownstein s signature howling yet controlled vocals tie the record together . since their departure in 2006 there has been a gaping hole in rock music finally sleater kinney have returned . this is not a reunion album . this record is not about reminiscing . no cities to love is simply the latest installment from one of the most important bands of our time . chloe doyle music director 91.1 wmua aphex twin computer controlled acoustic instruments pt2 ep it s christmas all over again apex twin made his return 4 months ago with syro an album made of pure electronic gold . now he s back with pt2 and in classic afx style it is highly ambiguous as to where the first part of computer controlled acoustic instruments took place . maybe it was the album who really knows the point is that aphex twin lays down some no nonsense electronic grooves on this ep that yet again demonstrate his mastery as the the greatest beat make ever to touch a computer . isaac wood office manager 91.1 wmua image

describe bj rk the artist or bj rk the person in such a way that does her genius justice a genius that has been been at work for more than 30 years . yes she wears outfits that are pretty out there . yes her thick icelandic accent is impossible not to notice when she sings . but this doesn t make her a joke this doesn t give anyone the right to look past the masterful artistry in her work . and this masterful artistry is undoubtedly present in her latest record vulnicura . bj rk s ninth studio album which was leaked just last week and then rush released soon after sees bj rk once again transcend the boundaries of what traditional music is meant to be . her lyrics on this record are jarringly potent depressing at their very core and she does nothing to hide that . rather bj rk builds an instrumental framework around these lyrics carrying them from their lowest emotional point to their highest . complex string arrangements and electronic beats hold the record together with sweeping violins aching cellos and cacophonous yet harmonious drum and bass . so what is vulnicura vulnicura is tragic . but one need only look to its tragedy in order too see its beauty . chloe doyle music
