PRESS PLAY: 9 New Albums Out March 5th!
A new month rolls in as does an abundance of new music! Leading the way, for the first time in a handful of years, is a new album from Kings of Leon. Forget about non-fungible tokens for a moment and enjoy an album in When You See Yourself that musically is reminiscent of their pre-arena days (think Because of the Times). Budding NYC bassist and songwriter Blu DeTiger compiles a catchy batch of singles on her EP release How Did We Get Here?. Also on the emerging artist front, don’t miss the debut from the Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu. His album Smiling With No Teeth bring with it a melting pot of musical influences. Eric D. Johnson and Fruits Bats put out their latest full-length today, The Pet Parade. Former Squirrel Nut Zippers bandmates Jimbo Mathus & Andrew Bird have collaborated again and the result is These 13. Additionally, check out the latest from Philly favorite Ron Gallo, the third album from LA indie rocker Ian Sweet, the always=engaging Har Mar Superstar, and to offer you some zen a new release from Pat Metheny! #PressPlay & Enjoy
