I&#8217;ve been doing this (almost weekly) for a year now. It&#8217;s been a year that&#8217;s kinda flown by. Admittedly it hasn&#8217;t been easy running <strong>Already Heard<\/strong> as a one-man operation. It can be demanding, yet I&#8217;ve somehow persevered with it. I did consider putting out the bat signal and see if anyone wanted to give me a helping hand. However, I kinda like the casual (or &#8220;hobbyist&#8221;) approach I&#8217;ve maintained\u00a0<strong>Already Heard<\/strong> for the past 12 months. Anyway, I digress (and no one reads this, right?)<\/p>\n<p>This week has a handful of noteworthy albums. For starters, new albums from\u00a0<strong>Knocked Loose<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Big Special<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>El Moono<\/strong> aren&#8217;t to be ignored. You can read my thoughts on all three below.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere,\u00a0<strong>Hot Water Music<\/strong> continue to celebrate their 30th anniversary as they release their 10th album &#8211;<em>&#8216;Vows&#8217;<\/em>.

After hearing the frantic 27-minute offering, it&#8217;s safe to say the Kentucky hardcore mob are smashing any doors or glass ceilings in their way.<\/p>\n<p>Where they could have sacrificed their heaviness in favour of &#8220;accessible&#8221; melodies, they have merely upped the intensity. From the opening metallic blast of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Thirst&#8217;<\/em> to\u00a0<em>&#8216;Sit &amp; Mourn&#8217;<\/em>s final crushing riffs,\u00a0<strong>Knocked Loose<\/strong> strangles you with an array of incredibly dense musical assaults.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Piece by Piece&#8217;<\/em> is relentless through chugging guitars, and Bryan Garris&#8217;s claustrophobic yelps. <em>&#8216;Suffocate&#8217;<\/em> sees Kevin \u201cPac Sun\u201d Kaine pummeling the shit out of his drum kit as Garris and\u00a0<strong>Poppy<\/strong> share vocals, before delivering a colourful, reggaeton breakdown. While the steely <em>&#8216;Don&#8217;t Reach For Me&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>blasts its way through before temporarily holding its breath, only for Garris to piercingly scream\u00a0<em>&#8220;I never gave a fuck&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>to giveaway to one of many all-mighty breakdowns.<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, <strong>Knocked Loose<\/strong>&#8216;s approach is unrelenting yet there are moments like the pairing of <em>&#8216;Moss Covers All&#8217;<\/em> and <em>&#8216;Take Me Home&#8217; <\/em>where dynamism is shown. One moment they&#8217;re upping the intensity to another level, before ominously bringing in a timid paranoid-induce guitar riff. It&#8217;s equally intense, and its build pays off. Later on,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Sit &amp; Mourn&#8217;<\/em> closes the album with its temporarily contemplative guitars and buzzing flies ambience. Garris&#8217; piercing words of angst and regret, proclaiming\u00a0<em>&#8220;This life can be way too much&#8221;<\/em>. Shadowy blackgaze guitars engulf the senses, only to be momentarily interrupted by a degraded voice asking\u00a0<em>&#8220;Why\u2019d you leave?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The production work of Drew Fulk, AKA Wzrd Bld deservedly needs to be highlighted. Having worked with the likes of Bad Wolves and Motionless in White, he gives the quintet a big, monstrous sound that never neglects their intensity. For example, <em>&#8216;Slaughterhouse 2&#8217; <\/em>sees MiW&#8217;s Chris \u201cMotionless\u201d Cerulli pop in for a convincing cameo, as he battles Garris in the voice booth against a backdrop of roaring guitars. Likewise, &#8216;<em>The Calm That Keeps You Awake&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>hints at a KoRn-esque groove before chaos resumes, even if Garris&#8217; screams of the title is the nearest\u00a0<strong>Knocked Loose<\/strong> get to any resemblance of a hook.<\/p>\n<p>But they&#8217;re not here to give hooks. Despite their virality through playing Coachella and Bonnaroo, it&#8217;s clear\u00a0<strong>Knocked Loose<\/strong> are far from cashing in. They&#8217;re designed to destroy.<em> &#8216;You Won\u2019t Go Before You\u2019re Supposed To&#8217;<\/em> will beat you down, and have you getting back up asking<em>\u00a0&#8220;Thank you sir, may I have another?&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>It&#8217;s a record that thrives with assured ability, undeterred to go into unexpected territory, and unwilling to be crushed by the weight of expectation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95472\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95472\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"bigspecial\" class=\"size-large wp-image-95472\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BIG-SPECIAL-DOSA-announcement-image-Feb-2024-1000x666.jpg\" alt=\"BIG SPECIAL\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BIG-SPECIAL-DOSA-announcement-image-Feb-2024-1000x666.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BIG-SPECIAL-DOSA-announcement-image-Feb-2024-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BIG-SPECIAL-DOSA-announcement-image-Feb-2024-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BIG-SPECIAL-DOSA-announcement-image-Feb-2024-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BIG-SPECIAL-DOSA-announcement-image-Feb-2024.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95472\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Isaac Watson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Big Special &#8211; Postindustrial Hometown Blues<\/h2>\n<p>West Midlands duo\u00a0<strong>Big Special<\/strong> has a message representing the working class underdog. This debut full-length is full of evocative tales of struggle and perseverance. Wordsmith Joe Hicklin is often blunt in his delivery, from the outset of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Black Country Gothic&#8217;<\/em>, he paints a monochrome picture as the concept of the future <em>&#8220;is just a dream&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Hicklin is joined by Callum Moloney, together they create a rigid, dense sound made up of Moloney&#8217;s drum work,\u00a0 bass, and synths (with occasional guitar). They&#8217;re hard to pin down stylistically, as there are elements of post-punk, blues, soul, trip-hop, funk, country, and more. When combined with weighty lyrical context, <em>&#8216;Postindustrial Hometown Blues&#8217;<\/em> can be a challenging listen, yet there is a magnetic quality to what Hicklin and Moloney do.<\/p>\n<p>For example, &#8216;<em>Desperate Breakfast&#8217;<\/em> builds with intensity via a chunky bass, while\u00a0<em>&#8216;Butcher&#8217;s Bin&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>combines Moloney&#8217;s repetitive beats with neon synth. <em>&#8216;Trees&#8217;<\/em> pulsates and flirts with indie pop, partly due to the dry\u00a0<em>&#8220;B-b-b-b-b-b, pow&#8221;<\/em> line and the subtle, fuzzy synth melody.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Shithouse&#8217;<\/em> continues to be as fun as it was upon release last summer. It allows Hicklin to have a positive release amid mental health troubles, complemented by punching drums, fuzzy guitar riffs, and a ticking synth. Likewise <em>&#8216;This Here Ain&#8217;t Water&#8217;<\/em> strolls in with a bluesy coolness, allowing Joe&#8217;s soulful voice to take centre stage.<\/p>\n<p>Away from the monochrome musical palette, tracks such as\u00a0<em>&#8216;Broadcast: Time Away&#8217;<\/em> and the heartfelt <em>&#8216;ill&#8217;<\/em>s tread on Americana folk, allowing Hicklin&#8217;s optimistic singing to take over. Nevertheless, it is his words and the narrative the duo have pieced together that has you on every word. Whether that&#8217;s on the brooding <em>&#8216;Dust Off\u00a0 \/ Start Again&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>as Hicklin pulls himself through a monotonous working day, or <em>&#8216;Mongrel&#8217;s<\/em> poetic strength, spitting lines of truth and regret, or <em>&#8216;DiG&#8217;<\/em>s blend of acceptance and determination, backed by rising keys and brass instrumentation. Elsewhere,\u00a0<em>&#8216;My Shape (Blocking The Light)&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>captures the hopeless, downbeat mindset of unemployment (<em>&#8220;I have forgotten myself&#8221;<\/em>). Backed by atmospheric instrumentation, it allows\u00a0<strong>Big Special <\/strong>to take a minimalist approach with Hicklin&#8217;s sleepy melody sending the track into a haze.<\/p>\n<p>If there is anything to take away from\u00a0<em>&#8216;Postindustrial Hometown Blues&#8217;<\/em> is that\u00a0<strong>Big Special<\/strong> are pure. No gimmicks required. It&#8217;s threaded together by a notion that the pair have experienced adversity, allowing them to present a raw, and emotional account of present-day Britain, especially in Hicklin&#8217;s words. They know things are shit but through their music, they&#8217;re able to produce an honest account of themselves with hints of optimism planted throughout.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"elmoono\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-95541\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/El-Moono-1000x563.jpg\" alt=\"El Moono\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/El-Moono-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/El-Moono-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/El-Moono-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/El-Moono.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>El Moono &#8211; The Waking Sun<\/h2>\n<p>In the months leading up to the release of <em>&#8216;The Waking Sun&#8217;<\/em>, Brighton quartet <strong>El Moono<\/strong> dropped several enticing singles that ideally gave the impression that the full record would be worth the wait. With a sound rooted in post-hardcore and alt-metal,\u00a0<strong>El Moono<\/strong>&#8216;s debut full-length is full of sprawling, dark, and expansive ideas yet is anchored by lyrical strife and unease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The dark lyrical narrative told by vocalist\/guitarist Zac Jackson allows him to explore issues such as depression and body dysmorphia. It&#8217;s musically bounded by sharp guitars, uplifting harmonies, and layered instrumentation.\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Charm&#8217;<\/em> exemplifies this as it uncoils itself through wiry verses, Chirs Cartwright industrious drum work, and Jackson&#8217;s soaring, cathartic release.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Haunting&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>borders on inciting a panic attack due to its string utilisation, yet Jackson and company keep the train from going off the tracks.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Chains&#8217;<\/em> treads in grungy waters with steely might, partly due to Jamie Haas&#8217; sullen guitar and Jackson&#8217;s effective vocals.<\/p>\n<p>Understandably, for any band embarking on their first full-length, their influences are sure to rear their heads. For example,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Phantom&#8217;<\/em> battles through with\u00a0 &#8216;<em>Around The Fur&#8217;<\/em>-era Deftones paranoia. While penultimate track,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Soul Eclipse&#8217;<\/em>, has an air of 90&#8217;s alt-rock through its melancholy melodic chorus.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Screw Loose&#8217;<\/em> bounces along with its twisting riffs, escalating guitars, and uneasy vocals.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Marionettes&#8217; <\/em>chugs along early on, building at a steady pace, allowing the various shades of\u00a0<strong>El Moono<\/strong> to appear. One moment they&#8217;re relentlessly heavy, the next spacious and reflective. Their ability to ebb and flow might not be unique, but it&#8217;s executed with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>While its scope of ideas can appear to be expansive,\u00a0<strong>El Moono<\/strong>&#8216;s musical abrasiveness and range is far from erratic, bringing a sense of control to Jackson&#8217;s lyrically unhinged mindset. When paired together, it can make\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Waking&#8217;<\/em> a compelling record that just about lives up to its potential. When it comes to debut albums from emerging UK talent,\u00a0<strong>El Moono<\/strong> has a collection of songs that can only enhance their status.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"list\">What is out on #NewMusicFriday?<\/h2>\n<p>Knocked Loose &#8211; You Won\u2019t Go Before You\u2019re Supposed To<br \/>\nHot Water Music &#8211; Vows<br \/>\nIncubus &#8211; Morning View XXIII<br \/>\nThe Plot In You &#8211; Vol. 2<br \/>\nBig Special &#8211; Postindustrial Hometown Blues<br \/>\nBLACKGOLD &#8211; Back With Another One<br \/>\nLike Moths To Flames &#8211; The Cycles Of Trying To Cope<br \/>\nBossk &#8211; .4<br \/>\nEl Moono &#8211; The Waking Sun<br \/>\nHAAL &#8211; Back To Shilmarine<br \/>\nIndoor Pets &#8211; Pathetic Apathetic<br \/>\nMoskito &#8211; G.R.I.M&#8217; Deluxe EP<br \/>\nFriday Pilots Club &#8211; Nowhere<br \/>\nCrownshift &#8211; Crownshift<br \/>\nTake Offense &#8211; T.Otality<br \/>\nLes Savy Fav &#8211; Oui, LSF<br \/>\nSebastian Bach &#8211; Child Within The Man<br \/>\nUnleash The Archers &#8211; Phantoma<br \/>\nThe Pleasure Dome &#8211; Liminal Space<br \/>\nRainbow Kitten Surprise &#8211; Love Hate Music Box<br \/>\nPowerman 5000 &#8211; Abandon Ship<br \/>\nMissiles &#8211; Weaponize Tomorrow<br \/>\nHandheld &#8211; Live At 25<br \/>\nWaste &#8211; In Bloom<br \/>\nFreedom Call &#8211; Silver Romance<br \/>\nRevenant &#8211; What A Time To Be Alive<br \/>\nSunnata &#8211; Chasing Shadows<br \/>\nTHOT &#8211; Delta<br \/>\nEat Defeat &#8211; My Money&#8217;s On Me<br \/>\nClementine Was Right &#8211; Tell Yourself You&#8217;re Going Home<br \/>\nArcadia Grey &#8211; Casually Crashing<\/p>\n<p><em id=\"playlist\">If you think I&#8217;ve missed something or have a new album\/EP\/song to tell us about, tell us about it <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/releasesubmission\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: #NewMusicFriday\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/5QJ3ivfXxJG8bc1CvaAjzy?si=a152801622704497&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the latest tracks focusing on rock, punk, hardcore, metal, emo, and everything in between, then check out our <em>&#8216;Newish Music&#8217;<\/em> playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusic\">Spotify<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusicAM\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have a look at what&#8217;s out this week including albums from Knocked Loose, Hot Water Music, Incubus, BIG SPECIAL, El Moono, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96201,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2329,161],"tags":[17572],"class_list":["post-96200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-playlists","tag-newmusicfriday"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
