@Joe Mac I'll listen to new Laura Marling if you listen to the new Trace Mountains, which I just listened through, and I'm super impressed by it.

Phew, it's a Friday morning and the releases I'm excited to check out are fewer in number than the last two Fridays, so I can hopefully catch up. Most excited to check out new Trace Mountains, Laura Marling and Hamilton Leithauser today.
New Washed Out track called Too Late dropped today. I will probably listen to it 20 times today. Feels like a return to Within and Without vibe. Please let this be a prelude to a new album!
I really don't know much about Prine but still feel the sadness of losing such an incredible man who has helped so many heal through music. If you're like me, and don't know much about him, I stumbled upon the first review ever written about him, which happened to be by Roger Ebert in 1970: John Prine: American Legend | Features | Roger Ebert
These last two Fridays have been insane for new releases. I barely just made it through a once-over of everything I wanted to listen to from last week and now I dumped new albums by TOPS, Ellis, Thundercat, Yves Tumor, Jessie Reyez, Purity Ring, Empress Of and Anna Burch into my new music playlist. The spring is always overwhelming for new releases, hard to keep up!
They say music heals. I've never felt that more profoundly than now, during a time of collective crisis. Dunno about you but I'm feeling bouyed through all this by highs of overwhelming gratitude I feel towards musicians and their music. Kishi Bashi's live session on insta last night, and listening to Waxahatchee's new record this morning being just two recent examples.
Kishi Bashi fans. In just over three hours, at 8PM EST Kishi says he's going on insta live and will play all of his first album 151a
New Purity Ring song "peaceful" is amazing, and guest vocals from Jonas Bjerre of Mew an unexpected treat.
New albums from Yumi Zouma, Four Tet and Porridge Radio queued up. Let's see what we got!
oh shit. Nicolas Jaar will be announcing a new album under his birth name today, so says his most recent insta post. damn 2020
I was in the "I haven't been able to get in Yves Tumor" camp, until just now. The new track Kerosene! is absolutely stunning.
Caribou's Suddenly gets better and better with each listen. I've listened to the whole album at least once a day since it dropped. Can't wait for the record to arrive soon from Rough Trade.
I saw OM last night. I don't go to many metal shows - but I'll be going to more now. OM's drummer, Chris Haikus, was so incredible. What he did reminded more of jazz than rock.
"On Track" on new Tame Impala is my jam. Love everything about that song.
Tennis record arrived early. It's phenomenal. Wow. Their best imo.
If you are wondering why a bunch of us on this forum love Kishi Bashi, and you aren't sure why, watch this:
Best songs of 2020 so far: Caribou's "You and I", Waxahatchee's "Fire", Lala Lala's "Legs, Run", Tennis's "Runner", Tall Tall Trees "A Wave of Golden Things"
Speculation on reddit indieheads about a new Sufjan album bc he changed his website and has "Aporia" written on top. Album title perhaps?
New Waxahatchee, Yumi Zouma and Lala Lala singles that dropped this week are excellent. That is all.
My day is complete. Mew just expanded their "Glass Handed Kites" tour to include a Philly date.
