Well, it’s a stacked week for new music with Low and Kacey Musgraves leading the pack with some potential album of the year contenders. The hype for Low has been building over the summer with their string of singles and some pretty heavy endorsements from online publications and Kacey’s just-announced album is sure to be a hit amongst fans.
Sneaker Pimps are back with their first album in a long time and other ‘90s stalwarts Saint Etienne return with new music as well.
Radiohead have announced a new box set to celebrate the respective 20th anniversaries of Kid A and Amnesiac and it includes a third album of unreleased songs from the recording sessions, aptly titled KID A MNESIAE.
Big Thief shared another new song this week, but have yet to announce the follow up to 2019’s Two Hands and UFOF. Eddie Vedder announced a new solo album and shared the first single, “Long Way.”
Aaliyah’s last record, her self-titled album, is also now on streaming services.
