Friday is new release day and each week we share some new albums we’re digging! This week some familiar faves have new offerings. Make sure to put an ear to albums by Sturgill Simpson, Tegan & Sara and The New Pornographers. And don’t miss out on some new discoveries like Michaela Anne, a charming voice based in Nashville; New York indie pop artist Vagabon, who releases her self-titled sophomore album; and Jack Klatt, a Minneapolis based country/bluesman. Are you ready to “Press Play”?
