The word...
Compared to recent weeks, June 19 was a pretty small release day. Less albums in general, but even fewer that made the cut for the week. BUT, as always, I’ve got some new records for you to check out! Some indie rock, some hip hop, shoegaze, post punk, maybe a little jam-y alt country/folk… the variety you’ve come to expect!
For the featured albums, I’ve got Tierra Whack’s new mixtape and the sophomore album from indie rock band, Office Dog. Both have earned repeat listens from me this week, so be sure to give them a listen if you dig the reviews.
