Album Recommendations – July 2026
I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed. Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will to.
Album: Wendy Eisenberg
Artist: Wendy Eisenberg
Genre: Folk Rock, Country Pop
Release Date: April 3, 2026
Label: Joyful Noise
Favorite Tracks:- Take a Number
- Meaning Business
- Old Myth Dying
- Vanity Paradox
- The Walls
An avant-guarde approach to folk music combined with introspection and a sense of hopefulness shape this album by the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter.
Album: Nine Inch Noize
Artist: Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize
Genre: Industrial Techno
Release Date: April 17, 2026
Label: The Null Corporation, Interscope
Favorite Tracks:- Heresy
- Parasite
- Came Back Haunted
- As Alive As You Need Me to Be
Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) and Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) collaborate on this compilation of live and remixed tracks from the Nine Inch Nails catalog. While I initially thought it was a mashup of boy bands with industrial techno, it’s still pretty cool if not legendary.
Album: Gongbu
Artist: Balming Tiger
Genre: Alternative K-Pop
Release Date: May 19, 2026
Label: Awal Recordings
Favorite Tracks:- Janjan
- Home
- It’s the Night
Balming Tiger is classified as K-Pop which is kind of absurd, since K-Pop is a whole music industry not a genre. And as an experimental music collective, Balming Tiger doesn’t even fit a genre.
Album: Ultra
Artist: Six Sex
Genre: Perreo, Electroclash
Release Date: June 6, 2026
Label: Dale Play
Favorite Tracks:- LOVE ME HATE ME
- CALIENTE
- BEAUTY privilege
- no more porn
Argentine Francisca Cuello electronic dance project Six Sex is kind of like if someone crossed reggaeton with Charli XCX.
Album: Olivia Rodrigo
Artist: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
Genre: Indie Rock, Dream Pop
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Geffen
Favorite Tracks:- drop dead
- stupid song
- maggots for brains
- the cure
- what’s wrong with me
- expectations
Olivia Rodrigo was born in 2003 but is keeping the sounds of the 80s & 90s alive with her mix of synthpop, power pop, pop punk, and thoughtfully-worded ballads. She even features a guest appearance by Robert Smith of the Cure!
Album: Floyd Mercantile
Artist: Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls
Genre: Folk, Singer/Songwriter
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Righteous Babe Records
Favorite Tracks:- Some People
- Dreamers Awake
- Butterfly Kisses
Floyd Mercantile is the name of a store in rural Virginia where singer songwriters Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls, and guitarist Ross Bellenoit recorded this album. It includes original works by Mulvey (whom I’ve been following for a long time) and Nicholls (who is new to me but has a lovely voice) and classic pop songs from the Great American Songbook, all in a folk/jazz style.
Album: Public Luxury
Artist: Downtown Boys
Genre: Punk Rock
Release Date: June 26. 2026
Label: Sup Pop
Favorite Tracks:- No Me Jodas
- The City Begins
- Yellow Sun
- You’re A Ghost
- Public Works
The socialist punk rock band from Providence, RI return with their first album since 2017’s Cost of Living.

#BalmingTiger is "an alternative #Kpop music collective and band...composed of rappers, singer-songwriters, producers, video directors, creative directors, visual artists, A&Rs, and editors" which seems to actively subvert K-Pop tropes and provide something still catchy, but categorically more ambitious sonically (and disturbingly absurd visually) and more of it's own character.

Sounds That Have Been Made, EP 154: Balming Tiger “Oui”
This is new to me, as I generally have ignored a lot of South Koreas musical exports; the focus on an endlessly repetitive mass-production line of fungible K-Pop 'idols' (which I've always argued is largely U.S. R&B repackaged for initially regional consumption, a position I seem to not be alone in, as evidenced by a growing body of discourse, both on the street, and in academia). But Balming Tiger is "an alternative K-pop music collective and band...composed of rappers, […]https://zeruch.wordpress.com/2026/07/01/sounds-that-have-been-made-ep-154-balming-tiger-oui/

Earlier this week, I just discovered the KPop collective, #BalmingTiger.
I love them! Rad, upbeat tunes & strange, weird, creatively bizarre #MusicVideos 🎵🎶😁Their latest release/music video - Balming Tiger - Oui :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WKZXRgQ7_uw"Balming Tiger is an alternative K-pop music collective and band formed in Seoul, South Korea, in 2018. The group is composed of rappers, singer-songwriters, producers, video directors, creative directors, visual artists, A&Rs, and editors.

Today is Challenge Day 11 - Post your faves from 2023 ..
And the first moment I think of is this one .. because Hobi and Joon had the best night and this will always be iconic. The way we squealed when he came out on stage.
I have just giggled gleefully watching it again! :blobcatgiggle:

Huge surprise at the end of last year. Been saying that Balming Tiger, who Mudd the student is part of, are the Kpop equivalent of the Butthole Surfers: this takes us further into that zone. How Locust Abortion Technician would sound with the tech that is casually available now, and a keen understanding of the mechanics of shoegaze without imitating it as a retroactive project. Sort of album I would have wanted to make in my late 20s.

One of my fave (and most unexpected) collabs of 2025. This whole vibe, the masks, the commentary on inner and outer beauty, and the commodification of everything. So clever.
