9 New Albums You Should Listen to Now: Vampire Weekend, Mount Kimbie, Glorilla, and More
It’s
been
five
years
since
Leeds
rock
band
Drahla
issued
their
debut
album,
Useless
Coordinates.
Their
sophomore
effort,
Angeltape,
is
slightly
more
frenzied,
layering
sharp
saxophone
blurts
on
top
of
deadpan
vocals
and
hard-edged,
post-punk
guitars.
While
writing
the
album,
the
quartet
mined
memories
of
grief
and
trauma,
searching
for
catharsis.
Drahla
shared
a
string
of
singles
ahead
of
Angeltape’s
release:
“Lip
Sync,”
“Under
the
Glass,”
“Grief
in
Phantasia,”
“Second
Rhythm,”
and
“Default
Parody.”
