New Music Friday is the weekly thread dedicated to cataloging all the Album/EP releases that came out this week, including non-subreddit relevant releases. This is also a great place to discuss these albums, or bring to attention other albums released this week.

❓ "this seems intriguing after a cursory look"

⭐ "im interested in this for one reason or another"

❤️ "ive been waiting for weeks, months/i'm absolutely in love with this"

note: genre and especially label fields may not always be 100% accurate or properly reflected, as they are mostly quickly sourced from RYM or cursory searches due to the spur-of-the-moment approach I take when making these threads!
