You didn’t think the break from new music would last for long, did you? After a sparse release schedule last week, the industry is back at 110% this week.
The noisiest release today is certainly the latest from rap superstar Eminem, and it’s one no one can ignore. But, there are a bunch of other new albums out that we’re happy to put on your radar, like the latest from Canadian folk artist Donovan Woods, or Britpop veterans Travis, or jam-band legends Phish. Gen Z will be all over the latest from Cigarettes After Sex (read my review of it here), and we’ll be bouncing along to the new album from Happy Landing. The new one from The Dip will be another soulful outing, and finally, you can discover the haunting tracks from South Africa’s Raptors & Remnants.
And man, there are so many strong singles this week, it will blow up your speaker. There are some big names, like hard rockers Seether, rapper Kid Cudi, pop-punkers Yellowcard (with a Jimmy Eat World cover for a good cause), folk/Americana acts like Michael Kiwanuka, Deer Tick and Judah & the Lion, upper-echelon indie groups like The Beaches, Charly Bliss, Bartees Strange and Cursive. Another famed indie group, Sunset Rubdown, is back with their first new song in over a decade, and we’re finally hearing new music from one of our favorite garage rockers Reese McHenry.
