It’s Friday, again, and there’s new music, again. This week has Lower Dens‘ first album since 2015’s Escape From Evil which I loved. Also, Bat For Lashes first album since 2016, The Bride, which I did not love. Both are for sure absolutely worth checking out I’m sure though. Also, another Deathcab for Cutie ep? There’s also Frankie Cosmos, Alessia Cara, and The Highwoman. Plus a new Courtney Barne–eh, Barns Courtney actually.
