The Weekly Three: Captain Beefheart, Loscil, Raekwon


This week’s new finds from the great beyond:

1. Captain Beefheart: Sun Zoom Spark (Rhino, Nov. 11)

Slick reissue of three early Captain LPs paired with an outtakes collection. Would you think less of me if I told you Clear Spot is my favorite of the bunch?

2. Loscil: Sea Island (Kranky, Nov. 17)

A restless, Reich-ian turn from underrated ambient mainstay Scott Morgan. 

3. Raekwon: We Wanna Thank You (self-released, Oct. 31)

Wu-Tang’s Chef compiles all his “Throwback Thursday” jams onto one soulful, satisfying mixtape.
