Every Tuesday we team up with our friends over at Hypeful to bring you the week’s best new album releases. There is a lot to choose from this week but, if you’re only going to purchase one item this week might we recommend the Dark Was The Night (A Red Hot Compilation). This compilation was produced by the National’s Aaron Bryce Dessner and consists of 31 exclusive tracks. It will be available as a double cd/triple vinyl/download and will benefit the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS through popular culture. They are the people responsible for albums including No Alternative, Red Hot and Blue and many more, and this is their 20th year, and this is the 20th release!

Typically we don’t have a problem with illegal downloading, but this is one you should really think about purchasing.

Check out the new releases, album art, mp3′s and streams after the jump…
