In No Particular Order – March 27, 2020
I’m going to be completely honest with you. I had to check a few times to make sure it was actually March 27th. In fact, I wasn’t quite sure it was Friday when I first woke up this morning.
Nonetheless, a handful of amazing records were released this passing sun rotation and my picks this week seem to fall under one uniting theme: they’re all female-fronted albums.
From punk to pop, this week’s In No Particular Order covers a bit of ground in different genres, and hopefully you find something you like!

Milk Teeth – Milk Teeth
Punk/Post-hardcore
UK punk group Milk Teeth struggled with lineup changes and record label swaps since their 2013 formation. Nonetheless, band leader/frontwoman Becky Blomfield has stood through the test of time and continues to unleash her fiery style of brash vocals and clever lyricism. Mixing together ’00’s post-hardcore, UK punk, and hints of pop-punk, the newly shaped trio sound better than ever on Milk Teeth.
Notable tracks: “Better” // “Transparent” // “Destroyer”

New York singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy has returned with her stunning sophomore release Devotion. Shaped together by a mix of genres, such as pop, jazz, pop-rock, and R&B, the 12-track album showcases Glaspy’s alluring vocal ability against a collage of styles. Her music has found a refreshing sense of maturity and depth, and possesses plenty of replay value.
