After a week away at the festival of a lifetime, I'm back with more new music recommendations. It's not a particularly stacked week, but I've got some gems for you that are new today, as well as a few things I missed last week. 

Last weekend, I fell in love with Sigh. Today, they released a new single from an album dropping in September. You know what to do. 

REZN dropped their new album last Friday, and it's as strong as the singles suggested it would be. Most tracks are dreamy and spacey jams that ultimately explode into heaviness. I've listened to this one a few times since returning home. It's great stuff. 

I'll admit that I'd fallen off with Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats in recent years, but the title track off their upcoming album reminds me of why I liked them in the first place. This track really showcases their trademark blend of fuzzy heaviness and 1960s pop sensibilities. Great stuff. 

Protomartyr are typically tagged as an indie rock band rather than as part of the heavy music scene. That said, I've always had a soft spot for this band, who I think you can fairly compare to a less nu-metal inflected Chat Pile. This track has got me excited to hear the rest of their forthcoming album.

I'm not sure I always vibe with the vocals on the new Dry Wedding album, but the blend of styles here is interesting enough that I'm going to see if it grows on me. A little noise, a little Americana, a little post-punk, The Back of Beyond reminds me a bit of Wailin' Storms, which is always a good thing. 

Emma Ruth Rundle released another single off her upcoming new album, and it's quite lovely. This is the quieter side of ERR, but it brings in some noise and discord near the end. Besides, we all like a good emotional ballad, right? Come on everyone, let's get sad. 

Finally, we'll close with the new collaborative album by Bootsy Collins and Buckethead, Metal Health. While funk legend Collins isn't the first name you think of when you're talking about metal, both he and Buckethead have a history of working with heavy musicians, and this album certainly shreds. As you'd expect from these two weirdos, it's not a straightforward metal album, but it's a lot of fun. There are also some very, very big name guests on a few tracks. 

That's all for this week. Thanks for reading, and thanks for checking out the new and improved Both Kinds of Heavy. There's some fun stuff in the works!
