Spring is slowly blooming and so is the release radar with a wildly eclectic batch of albums this week for New Music Friday, March 21, 2025.
Japanese Breakfast delivers the beautifully titled “For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women).”
My Morning Jacket returns with “Is,” a self-assured and expansive journey through the sounds that made them festival legends.
K-pop giants Stray Kids drop “Mixtape: Dominate.”
Men I Trust shares “Equus Asinus,” a chilled-out groove-heavy escape full of lo-fi charm.
Anti-folk icon Jeffrey Lewis is back with “The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis,” packed with clever lyrics, sketches, and lo-fi brilliance.
As always, the entire list of new albums released today, Friday, March 21, 2025 is below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
