It’s a Friday the 13th worth celebrating, with a stellar lineup on New Music Friday for June 13, 2025.
The Cure, “Mixes of a Lost World” is a sprawling, moody remix set that deepens the foreboding atmosphere of “Songs of a Lost World,” with Robert Smith’s dark vision reinterpreted through atmospheric, propulsive reworks
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, “Phantom Island” is An ambitious orchestral‑psychedelic album that fuses ’70s soft‑rock textures with lush arrangements, offering a cohesive yet exploratory sonic journey.
Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, “Talkin to the Trees” is a homespun, politically charged folk‑rock outing from Young’s new band, blending protest themes with weathered acoustic intimacy.
Van Morrison, “Remembering Now” is a moving return to soulful form, where Morrison revisits nostalgia, love and spiritual reflection with his richest voice in years.
The Swell Season, “Forward” is a heartfelt reunion from Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová that balances intimate folk‑rock storytelling with emotional catharsis after a 16‑year break.
