It’s been far too long since our last “New Release” post and we apologize. Since there were so many great albums released the last two weeks we went ahead and included our picks for this week as well as the last couple in this post. It’s getting close to the end of the year so maybe the new releases will slow down and we will all have time to make up some ground on our need-to-listen albums list before those all important end of the year’s lists.

If you notice something that needs to be included in the post let us know.
