Greetings sputnikers and welcome to your weekly reminder that there are people out there with the audacity to release new albums despite music peaking with Jane Doe in 2001. I know, kinda cringe. Big hitters this week include a load of metal bands I vaguely recognise and the second half of that Bon Iver project that dropped last year, plus the new Ken Carson album that will definitely release on time. For sure. No doubt in my mind. Oh and Wu-Tang apparently, although the chances of that being real give Bigfoot some competition. Anywho, as usual let us know what you are hyping and why we all should definitely check the new Neptunian Maximalism album – those genre tags look tasty. Feel free to sample a few of these releases in the playlist below. ‘Til next week!
