New Albums Released this week: HAIM, Jessie Ware, Arca, Khruangbin, Daniel Avery & more

Friday is album release day and here’s a quick rundown of what’s been released today.

HAIM – Women In Music Pt III

The third album from the HAIM sisters is reviewed in this week’s podcast (up shortly). It’s a looser, more eclectic affair than the first two albums expanding their template beyond classic FM pop-rock.

Arca – Kick I

 Venezuelan avant-garde electronic artist’s fifth album features Rosalia, Bjork, Sophie and Shygirl.

Khruangbin – Mordechai
