While the Kansas-based producer Brian Leeds has recently released music under the name Pendant (2021’s To All Sides They Will Stretch Out Their Hands and 2018’s Make Me Know You Sweet), Plonk is his first new album from the Huerco S. moniker in six years. The follow-up to 2016’s For Those of You Who Have Never (And Also Those Who Have) and QTT4 was inspired by Leeds’ childhood love of cars—“especially rally ones.”

Blood Incantation: Timewave Zero [Century Media]
The Denver death metal band Blood Incantation have released a new album that has very little to do with death metal. The follow-up to 2019’s Hidden History of the Human Race is the band’s attempt at “stripping away the Metal and emphasizing the Dark, Cinematic, and exceedingly Cosmic atmosphere [its] music is known for.” The record features two songs—“Io” (21 minutes) and “Ea” (20 minutes)—with a third, 27-minute song featured on the limited-edition CD copy.
