Brat Girl Summer is in full effect on the Front Range. Charli XCX’s hyper-pop dancefloor masterpiece finished high in last month’s rankings of the bestselling new vinyl releases at Paradise Found Records and Music (1646 Pearl St.) — but it wasn’t quite enough to unseat local favs Hermanos Gutierrez. Here’s the rundown of everything else your neighbors couldn’t stop spinning in June.
1. Hermanos Gutiérrez – Sonido Cósmico
2. Charli XCX – brat
3. Widespread Panic – Snake Oil King
4. Gracie Abrams – The Secret of Us
5. NXworries – Why Lawd?
6. $UICIDEBOY$ – New World Depression
7. Grateful Dead – From the Mars Hotel (50th anniversary reissue)
8. Marias – Submarine
9. Lizzy McAlpine – Older
10. Various Artists – Twilight Original Soundtrack
STAFF PICK:
If brat is kissing a stranger in a sweaty club, Kaytranada’s TIMELESS is dancing in the living room with someone you’ve loved for a long time. With samples from the ’70s, ’80s and 2000s and over a dozen features including Anderson .Paak, Childish Gambino, Charlotte Day Wilson, Thundercat, PinkPantheress and Channel Tres, Kaytranada’s first album in half a decade feels fresh and familiar at the same time.
