Weekly Releases (01.05.26)

New month, new music

Looking ahead at the calendar, it appears we music fans will be eating good in May, if the number of big names and/or beloved cult favorites releasing new music is any indication. This first of five Fridays in the month isn’t the biggest date of them all, but it has numerous higher-profile offerings, including a rare LP from emo legends American Football, the latest from The Black Keys, a third album from Isaiah Rashad, and a new record from indie pop stars Young the Giant. All those and more can be found below!
