It’s Friday, and, like most Fridays before it there is new music. But, like the humble snowflake every Friday’s new music is different. This Friday has new music from Best Coast, the hugely important band of the (originally) DIY rock scene. Grimes as well is here with her follow up to the gigantic Artangels. Plus, Avocado favorite (and all around underrated pop queen) Allie X has a new one (WITH A MITSKI FEATURE!!!!). Also we’ve got the final album from Mountains for Clouds. Plus (so the dads don’t complain) Guided By Voices have their 600th album, and Six Organs of Admittance have a new one. Also the Polaris listed is not the band of Pete and Pete fame but a metalcore band.
Plus, here’s a whole list, borrowed from Consequence of Sound – tell me what you’re hyped for, what’s good, what’s bad, what’s whatever – enjoy!:
