Album Daily
Album Daily Week #109 [December 13 - 17]

Happy Monday Ya Filthy Animals**

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?!? Well if you're like me and you're struggling for some last minute gift ideas, fear not! Album Daily doesn't just do music, as of like now, we also do product recommendations! Allow us to make a few recommendations for the music lovers in your life. Note: we're not compensated for these recommending these products, we just think they're kinda dope. 
  • Bose Quiet Comfort 45 Headphones. 2/3 members of Album Daily have the previous version of these headphones and we absolutely love them. Excellent noise cancellation on airplanes, solid full-range sound and best of all they're super comfortable even after working in them all day. They compact nicely for travel too. 
  • DDJ 400 Controller. Aspiring DJ on your shopping list this year? Look no further, this is the perfect gift to get them twisting knobs to try and make it seem like they're having a material impact on the sounds coming out of the speakers the board is connected to.... wink. This controller is (relatively) inexpensive, easy to use out of the box and best yet is compatible with DDJ software that can connect to streaming services like SoundCloud so that you don't have to purchase music that you want to DJ like in the days of old. 
  • Vinyl subscription box. This "Vinyl of the Month" club is super slick and easy to use. Simply link your favorite streaming service up, pick a "vibe" every month and then they'll send you a new record to jam to every month. It's like Album Daily but in the real world instead of on the interwebs. How cool.
Now, turn your speakers up!

Back In Love City

The Vaccines

Album Cover 2
Genre: Rock
Release Date: September 21st, 2021
Top Tracks: Alone Star, Headphones Baby, Jump Off The Top
Similar Artists: The Strokes, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Wombats

Not gonna lie to y'all, I almost shut the door on this album after hearing the first song… I'm glad I didn't though! We're not in the business of prescribing to our subscribers what they should and shouldn't like but we are in the business of writing album descriptions and the title track "Back in Love City" just didn't do it for me. The album picked up steam after the first one though, thankfully! 

On this latest release from The Vaccines they're going for big time radio-play stadium rock. Fist pumping choruses followed by verses that mention Nirvana, teenage rebellion and breaking the rules. If you're looking for the classic rock anthem sound you found on some of The Vaccines previous works from the early 2010s, then you might be disappointed with this one BUT if you keep an open mind and appreciate the album for the pop-rock hit-pumper that it is, then you might be pleasantly surprised. 

Check out the album art for this one. Each of the singles that were released leading up to the album's release each contain a section of the art that makes up the complete "pill" in the final album artwork. Here's the Instagram of the artist of the cover art if you're interested in checking out some more of their work.

At Last!

Etta James

Cover 2
Genre: Soul
Release Date: November 15th, 1960
Top Tracks: At Last, A Sunday Kinda Of Love, Stormy Weather
Similar Artists: Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Dinah Washington

If you’ve been watching some television this holiday season… you might have caught Walmart’s ‘Family Portrait: A Joy Filled Christmas Card” commercial. If you’re anything like us, you immediately pulled out Shazam and caught that fire rendition of Sonny & Cher’s “I Got You Babe” by Etta James.

To commemorate all of those commercials with great tunes, let’s hit the rewind button and discover Etta James’ 1960 album At Last!

The Cure to Loneliness

Jai Wolf

Cover 3
Genre: Electronic
Release Date: April 5th, 2019
Top Tracks: Lose My Mind, Your Way, Better Apart
Similar Artists: Odesza, Chet Porter, Kasbo

Bright, melodic, and uplifting - The Cure to Loneliness is your new favorite heart-warming electronic album. Jai Wolf stays true to his core in this project, with more than enough indie-dance records to top the billboard charts, but he also ventures down new avenues. He combines his synth-heavy ambient sound while also exploring future bass rhythms that pack a deeper punch. Ultimately, Jai Wolf’s brilliance comes with his complex ambient soundscapes that serve to inspire.​
