Weekly Releases (29.05.26)
Stacked to the max
I don’t have a crystal ball, but the last Friday in May will probably go down as the biggest week in 2026 for new music. Headliners include a return from Boards of Canada, a new LP from stoner-prog giants Elder, a live album from Manchester Orchestra, and a record from promising young fella Paul McCartney, but there’s a multitude of other big names as well. Let’s go!
