If you keep track of album releases then you’ll probably know that next Tuesday, September 13th, there are about a million things coming out and every single one of them is worth getting excited about. Thankfully we get to hear some of them in advance thanks to the wonderful work of NPR. We already heard one that I was particularly excited about last week (Wild Flag’s debut) and now we get a few more that I’m equally dying to hear.
Since the release of her second album Actor it seems that everybody loves Annie Clarke aka St. Vincent, and Strange Mercy has become one of the most hyped albums of 2011. People are also probably intrigued to see whether Neon Indian can keep up the quality of his debut on his follow up Era Extraña. A. A. Bondy may be a little less known than those two, but is certainly no less worthy of your time, and his new album Believers is a chillingly good record.
We have streams of all three of those below courtesy of NPR, and if you’d like to hear the third album from British folkstress Laura Marling, A Creature I Don’t Know, then head to the New York Times website.
