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 kicks off with Mannequin Pussy's explosive album, I Got Heaven, where they deliver a high-octane blend of punk energy and heartfelt emotion. Next up, Schoolboy Q brings forth Blue Lips, an introspective journey through the complexities of life and fame. Faye Webster serenades us with Underdressed at the Symphony, offering dreamy melodies and soulful lyricism against a backdrop of lush instrumentation. Punchlove channels ethereal vibes with Channels, their entrancing exploration of shoegaze landscapes, while Montréals Diamond Day invites us to Connect The Dots with their immersive blend of shoegaze and electro pop, creating a sonic journey that's both introspective and atmospheric.
