It is Friday, however for a few of you, your new music needs have been granted earlier this week when pop-punk princess Hayley Williams leaked her newest album to her devoted hair salon patrons. (Don’t be concerned, it is on streaming companies immediately for the remainder of you.)
This week, we crack open THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED, the latest launch from Detroit’s ever-elusive, loud and existential band, The Armed. We additionally reacquaint ourselves with Mal Devisa and her four-disc Palimpsesa, and get to know the gentle and wandering New Days by Emily Hines.
Stephen Thompson welcomes Liz Warner from NPR Member station WDET to the present to debate these albums and two extra favorites out this week. Hearken to the present starting at 3 a.m. ET wherever you get your podcasts.
