Best New Music This Week: Brittany Howard, Chelsea Wolfe, Declan McKenna, And More

Every Friday, we challenge ourselves to sift through new music releases and curate a list of albums we think you should be listening to. 

This week begins with Brittany Howard's soul-stirring album, What Now, blending elements of psych soul into a captivating sonic experience. Chelsea Wolfe emerges with ethereal darkness in She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She, an eerie exploration within the realm of darkwave. Transitioning to indiepop realms, Declan McKenna invites us to ponder What Happened to the Beach?, offering introspective melodies against a backdrop of indiepop rhythms. Ducks Ltd. takes us on a whimsical journey through the realm of Jangle Pop with Harms Way, weaving catchy hooks and nostalgic vibes (stay tuned for our photos from their album release show in Toronto at Sonic Boom Records). Lastly, Victoria, B.C.'s Loving beckons us into a serene world with Any Light, their indie folk masterclass, inviting listeners to bask in its west coast vibes.

Tap your favourite music app, put those headphones on, and listen to some new music you hopefully discover for the first time. See below for this week's recommendations.
