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’s album releases span a wide range of styles, bringing fresh sounds and compelling narratives to the forefront. Foxing's self-titled presents a dynamic and introspective collection, merging their post-rock roots with a newfound sense of urgency and emotional depth. Nilüfer Yanya’s My Method Actor captivates with its brooding intensity and genre-defying soundscapes. Porches returns with Shirt, a melancholic yet vibrant dive into synth-pop that reflects both heartbreak and self-discovery, while Hello Mary’s Emita Ox channels raw, grunge-inspired energy, delivering sharp, riff-heavy tracks that feel both nostalgic and new. Lastly, Dayglow’s self-titled wraps things up with an effervescent blend of indie pop and feel-good melodies, radiating positivity and warmth with every beat.
