The July List is hotter than Georgia asphalt with 25 new tracks we've fallen hard for including new singles from some of our favorite artists like Alvvays (how has it been 5 years?), Cass McCombs, Christine and the Queens, Sylvan Esso, Flipturn and Australia's Good Morning.
The Elf Power new album Artificial Countrysides is finally out (their 14th in a 30 year career!) and it's some of their finest work. And Dawes just dropped the most sprawling and unique record of their career, Misadventures of Doomscroller. Give it a thoughtful listen!
What's on repeat? Debut albums from newcomers Grace Ives, Launder and Naima Bock as well as tunes from a slew of new discoveries like San Francisco's The Red, Pinks and Purples, New Orleans' Julie Odell, Alberta, Canada's Ghost Woman, NYC's Pan Arcadia and Nashville's Jive Talk ( who recently played a red hot Dog Days show in SAV).
We're especially excited for the debut album from London's Gently Tender; the project from three former members of Palma Violets. Look for that to drop in late August. It was recorded in Stopover alum Matthew E White's Spacebomb Studios in RVA; an instant badge of cred!
And as always, don't miss the best new work from Stopover alum. This month's list includes new music from Lee Baines +The Glory Fires, Twen, Caleb Caudle, Mckinley Dixon and of course Elf Power!
Stay cool and summer on!
