Happy Friday everyone! There is an overwhelming amount of exciting new music to check out this week. The new album from Superchunk comes with some strong reviews, so I’m hoping it is the kind of blast of catchy energy the band is known for. I’ll be testing out the new album from Shannon and the Clams, who I’ve been hearing good things about, as well as Car Seat Headrest. Ne EPs from Brett Dennen and Belle & Sebastian should bring some nice poppier melodies into your life. Some of the new singles that will be getting the most press this week are the new ones from Muse, Ryan Adams, and Courtney Barnett, but songs from Trampled by Turtles, Femi Kuti and Okkervil River shouldn’t be overlooked. There also appears to be a two-song posthumous single from Songs: Ohia.
Try out this mix of cool new music yourself and share your thoughts!
