The May List is out. Check out the 25 tracks we can’t stop listening to from brand new and recent releases. New music from Sharon Van Etten, Smile and Arcade Fire seem to be on everyone’s earbuds these days, but we’re also still swooning over Spoon’s latest album with deeper cut “My Babe” and great tracks from new discoveries like Svvarms, Momma, MJ Lenderman, Little Brazil and the fantastic Sub Pop debut from Toronto’s Weird Nightmare.
Do we need a “country” album from Wilco or an album of Beach Boys covers from She & Him? If the lead singles are any indication, we do! Had we forgotten about great bands like Calexico or Delta Spirit? Never! So glad to have new music from them.
Real Estate frontman Martin Courtney dropped the debut single from a new album out in June on Domino Records- it’s dripping with a layered, nostalgia vibe that seems perfect for summer road trips. And then there’s Seratones laid back R&B mantra to “Get Your Shit Together, Babe”. Ok, yeah, who hasn’t wanted to put this feeling into a song?
And as always, some of our favorite festival alums are back with new music including Kate Bollinger, American Aquarium and Los Colognes ( that’s a 2014 way, way throwback artist for you Stopover followers!). Listen below on Spotify music lovers.
