It’s an indie-rock-heavy week with a strong nostalgic pull and a few sonic surprises for New Music Friday, May 9, 2025.
The Head and the Heart return with “Aperture.”
Counting Crows finally deliver the long-awaited “Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!”
M83 continues to build dreamy worlds with “A Necessary Escape.”
Men I Trust double release “Equus Caballus” full of soft grooves and late-night vibes.
And for those feeling emo, The Wonder Years offer raw reinterpretations on “Burst & Decay (Volume III).”
As always, the entire list of new albums released today, Friday, May 9, 2025 is below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
