3 New Albums Out This Week You Should Listen to Now: Diiv, Golden Vessel & Headaches, and mui zyu
There’s so much good music out in the ether that sometimes it’s difficult to parse through all of it. Every week The Daily Music Report will do the hard work for you and highlight the best releases available on streaming services.
This week we’re highlighting new music from Diiv, Golden Vessel & Headaches, and mui zyu.
Diiv – Frog in Boiling Water
Produced by Chris Coady, Frog In Boiling Water is a 10-track project that delves into new lyrical and musical depths for the band. Inspired by the “Boiling Frog” metaphor from Daniel Quinn’s The Story of B, the album serves as a testament to enduring hardships and the search for clarity, much like a frog slowly acclimating to increasingly hot water, unaware of the peril until it’s too late.
Standout Songs: Brown Paper Bag, Frog In Boiling Water, Everyone Out, Soul-net

Golden Vessel & Headaches – Making Friends With The Space Around Me
After months of singles being released, Headaches and Golden Vessel (aka 1tbsp) have shared their collaborative album, Making Friends with The Space Around Me. The vibrant collection of alt-pop tracks, enriched with bouncy indie-dance elements, features three previously unheard tracks that add to its refreshing appeal. The album comes after a period of inactivity for Headaches and is only now coming to fruition as Max (Golden Vessel) fostered a safe and expressive environment where both could explore ideas freely, without the pressure of achieving a specific outcome.
Standout Songs: Make It Somehow, Happy Days In Happy Weather, Songs, I Inhabit My Life (And It Feels So Good)

mui zyu – Nothing or Something to Die For
Hong Kong British artist mui zyu (Eva Liu) has unveiled her second full-length album, nothing or something to die for. With an eye to the absurd, the album poses the question: “How do we find the hole in the wall––the portal––to the path we all crave?” In her quest to understand the complexities of human existence, worldly chaos, and technological advancements that foster connections yet lack meaningful bonds, the album strips back all the unnecessary elements and delivers a seamless experience where each track flows effortlessly into the next, creating a cohesive and thought-provoking journey.
Standout Songs: the mould, everything to die for, please be ok
