We’re full into fall now which means there’s a ton of new music being released. The debut Chvrches album is a must listen, and we have new LPs from Delorean, Naked and Famous, Lorde, and more. And we have some sneak peaks from Arcade Fire, Cut Copy, Man Man, Midlake, and Augustines. I close out with an introspective stunner from Cloud Control. Check it out.

Check out the new music that’s come out this past month. The Moondoggies, Washed Out, and The Civil Wars have brand new albums out, and I’ve included some great early-release singles from Two Door Cinema Club, Polica, and Army Navy. Please take a listen to Grand Hallway’s single “Horses” included at the end of the list. It’s a stunning and gorgeous track that’s part of the movie Touchy Feely coming out in September.
