It’s been a wild week – freezing temperatures in Texas and Trump Plaza in Atlantic City imploded – so The High Note is here to ease you into the weekend with New Music Friday.
If you’re looking for some party rock, then The Hold Steady are back with an
“Open Door Policy” which a little more sobering than its previous releases and everything funky is fly on “Times” by SG Lewis.
If you’re looking for more electronic and mellow tunes, then check out the latest by Mogwai “As the Love Continues,” and “Breathing Tides” by Teen Daze.
Classic rockers can rejoice at a new album by Thin Lizzy’s Ricky Warwick as well as a new album by Whitesnake.
As always, the complete list of albums released today, Friday, Feb. 19, is below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold. Let me know in the comments below or on social media what you’re listening to this week.
