It seems we’ve hit the doldrums of summer, that holding pattern between the big music seasons of spring and fall, so as a result there’s not as much coming out every week. Still, as a service to you I like to run down the most notable new album releases each Tuesday and this week will be no different. Keep an eye out for albums from Bell X1, The Candles, CFCF, Daughn Gibson, Editors, Fossil Collective, Hebronix (Daniel Blumberg of Yuck), Jay-Z, Maps, The March Divide, The Mother Hips, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Reverend Horton Heat, Robert Pollard, Royal Forest, Speedy Ortiz, The Octopus Project, Thea Gilmore and Thundercat. There’s a couple good ones in that bunch, so check them all out if you’re so inclined. If not, maybe a new song or two in today’s Pick Your Poison will strike your fancy. I’m happy to advise you to check out tracks from Bent Shapes, Fuzz, Holy Ghost, Mean Lady, Summer Aviation and Willy Mason. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream new songs from The 1975, Ariel Pink & Jorge Elbrecht, CHVRCHES (covering HAIM), and Superchunk.
