Best New Music This Week: Gouge Away, Sweet Pill, Kacey Musgraves, And More

Every Friday, we challenge ourselves to sift through new music releases and curate a list of albums we think you should be listening to.

This week kicks off with Gouge Away's gripping album, Deep Sage, where they unleash a visceral blend of hardcore punk and introspective lyricism. Sweet Pill emerges with their new EP Starchild, offering a celestial journey through dreamy melodies and atmospheres. Kacey Musgraves returns to form and takes us to a Deeper Well with her latest release. Chuck Strangers presents A Forsaken Lover's Plea, a soul-stirring exploration of love and loss, accompanied by his signature blend of poignant lyricism and lush production. Lastly, Comeback Kid delivers a new EP, Trouble, a relentless onslaught of hardcore punk energy and anthemic choruses.
