Weekly Releases (22.05.26)
gatekeep!'s back, alright!!!
The fourth Friday of May isn’t the biggest week in the month for musical releases, but there’s plenty of interest to find. Particularly big name and/or intriguing releases include a new record of indie pop stars Bleachers, the return of UK emo darlings Crash of Rhinos, more from symphonic black metallers Dimmu Borgir, and a new LP from the blissful ambient/post-rockers Hammock. Anyway, time to dig into the full list!
