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

Kicking things off this week is The Last Dinner Party with their mesmerizing album, Prelude to Ecstasy. Next up is Alpine, California’s Being As An Ocean, offering introspective melodies on Death Can Wait, while Vera Sola invites listeners into a folk-infused sanctuary with Peacemaker. Lastly, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. adds his signature flair with What Do We Do Now, showcasing his seasoned prowess.
