I’m still hanging on to those lingering feelings of summer here at The High Note, even as we enter our second New Music Friday of October. Still, at the top of the list you’ll see Bahamas, which just sounds warm, which is good enough for me to keep those sun rays shining in my face.
As I already mentioned indie folk-rocker Afie Jurvanen, who goes by Bahamas, and is really from Canada, is among my picks for new albums released today. As are albums by the classic rock band Blue Öyster Cult, souther rockers Brothers Osborne, hipster pop icons Future Islands, prolific jazz pianist Sun Ra and singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III, who, apparently, would rather be in a band.
Of course, there are a lot more albums than that released today, including albums by Trey Songz, Garcia Peoples, Emmy The Great, The Budos Band Concrete Castles and Babalyon Circus, and many more.
Those and the ones in bold below are the albums that were released today, Friday, Oct. 9, 2020 that are on my playlist. Let me know what you’re listening to in the comments below or on social media.
