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 Hovvdy's self-titled album, where they offer a captivating blend of indie rock and dream pop. Justice delivers an electrifying experience with Hyperdrama, their first new album in eight years that infuses their signature brand of electronic music with cinematic grandeur. Montréal’s Corridor mesmerizes with Mimi, a sonic journey through post-punk landscapes and infectious melodies. Iron and Wine charms with Light Verse, weaving delicate folk melodies and poignant lyricism into a tapestry of warmth and nostalgia. Lastly, Black Tusk storms back onto the scene with The Way Forward, unleashing a torrent of sludge metal fury and relentless energy.
