PRESS PLAY: 8 New Albums out September 10th!

Whether or not you’re ready for knit sweaters and pumpkin carving, there’s no denying the bountiful cornucopia of new albums out this week. Kacey Musgraves leads the way with her multimedia event, star-crossed. The highly anticipated follow-up to Golden Hour is not-so-secretly inspired by the last few years of the singer’s personal life; ups and downs and all. After a few years going solo, Erika Wennerstrom reunites with Heartless Bastards for the sharp and glossy A Beautiful Life. The thirteenth album from acclaimed Minnesota duo Low, Hey What is a towering achievement in sculpted sound and inventive song structures. Los Angeles rocker Colleen Green shows off her effortlessly aloof songwriting on the aptly titled Cool.

As the founder and creative force behind the Spacebomb label, it’s no surprise that Matthew E. White‘s K Bay is a sonic delight. Scorching guitar riffs and occasionally humorous lyrics punctuate Samantha Fish‘s Faster. Produced by Mark Ronson, Dawn is a brilliant debut for soulful singer Yebba. Collecting songs from their recent series of element-themed EPs, Bomba Estéreo present Deja, their first album in six years. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Metallica‘s self-titled “black” album, devotees like Phoebe Bridgers and Jason Isbell pay respects on The Metallica Blacklist.
