Weekly Releases (17.04.26)
Deja Vu, all over again...
It’s already the third Friday in April coming up, folks. Start your Spring cleaning! The fresh batch of music this time around is rather subdued, but there’s (as always) plenty of new records coming out, this time both on Friday, Apr 17th and Saturday, Apr 18th, the latter of which is Record Store Day. Feel free to peruse and don’t be shy about shouting your most anticipated releases (or notable exclusions from the list) in the comments.

Thanks for reading - see you once more next week!
Superbloom arrived on vinyl today and I am playing it over and over. What do you think of it?
My favourite track is also Automatic, and I love ‘Don’t You Know Who I Am’ but I think I prefer the acoustic version - it’s so much more theatrical.
I ended up writing an essay trying to figure out why — about rituals and taste and what we'll do to get our hands on music that feels like oxygen. It's on my Substack if you'd like to read it, I’d love to know what you think (no pressure!): https://gmrow.substack.com/p/whats-your-pleasure
