This Week's Top 10 New Releases

New week, new stack. Here's what dropped, the tracklists, and what we think of each one. (Cover art still stuck behind that upload issue, we'll slot these in the moment it clears.)


1. Carly Rae Jepsen — Day and Night

Label: Schoolboy / Interscope  |  Critics: 77 vs Fans: 83

Her eighth album, and a genuine double LP, 24 tracks split across a Day disc and a Night disc. Reviews call it her most sonically adventurous work yet, if a little unwieldy at that length. A big, ambitious swing from an artist who's earned the right to take one.

Tracklist (DAY): 1. After All, 2. Habits of Creatures, 3. Versailles, 4. On Wires, 5. Blue Skies, 6. Burning Heart, 7. Wild Child, 8. Good Fine Alright, 9. Something Tragic, 10. Soft, 11. Lonely Side of the Bed, 12. Just a Little Walk on the Moon
Tracklist (NIGHT): 1. Never Let a Good Thing Die, 2. Amalfi Coast, 3. Patience Power Passion, 4. Don't Leave Me on the Dance Floor, 5. Motivation, 6. You Don't Know How It Feels, 7. Near or Far, 8. Diver, 9. Hold Me to the Light, 10. That's Just Me, 11. No Labels, I Love You, 12. (closing track)


2. beabadoobee — Pylon

Label: Dirty Hit / Interscope  |  Critics: 74 vs Fans: 81

Her fourth album, written almost entirely on the road, and a louder, heavier turn toward grunge and midwest emo. Guest spots from Hayley Williams, Turnstile's Brendan Yates, and Chino Moreno of Deftones. Distorted, direct, and a little homesick-sounding in the best way.

Tracklist: 1. Pylon, 2. Sun Has Set, 3. Estranged, 4. Switchblade, 5. Write Me A Letter, 6. It's Alright, 7. In Motion, 8. Memories, 9. Nothing to Prove, 10. Radio, 11. Powerlines, 12. Spark, 13. Despite That, 14. Satellite


3. Lucy Bedroque — c

Fans: 88 (no critic score yet)

One of the biggest user scores of the week by rating volume. A dense, unorthodox hip-hop/hyperpop record that keeps reaching for new shapes mid-verse rather than settling into a hook. Raw, buzzy, and clearly resonating hard with her fanbase right now.

Tracklist: 1. All Speakers Go to Heaven, 2. The 9th Circle, 3. Speed Demon, 4. Stone in Focus, 5. Miss Behavior, 6. B.Y.O.B., 7. Orochimaru, 8. Married to My Jeweler, 9. C Section, 10. Co Poison, 11. Safespace, 12. Zygote, 13. SSJ2, 14. Erase Your Social, 15. Peace in Pandemonium


4. Beck — Ride Lonesome

Label: Capitol Records  |  Critics: 81 vs Fans: 78

His fifteenth album and first in seven years, rounding out an unofficial trilogy with Sea Change and Morning Phase. Reunited with Nigel Godrich and the same backing musicians from those records. Slow, amber-hued, and deeply introspective — a beautiful, if familiar, return to his "sad Beck" mode.

Tracklist: 1. Ride Lonesome, 2. Run Away, 3. In The Night, 4. Failed Words, 5. Bleed, 6. Disappearing Act, 7. For Your Love, 8. Slow Canyon, 9. It Ends Right Here, 10. Falling Through My Hands, 11. If You Don't Know What Love Is, 12. Beyond The Light


5. Miley Cyrus — Bass Persuades

Label: Atlantic Records  |  Critics: 60 vs Fans: 69

Her tenth album, now released under the mononym Miley, and her first for Atlantic after leaving Columbia. A 10-track set co-written with Kid Harpoon and fiancé Maxx Morando, described as a layered love story. Features from Model/Actriz and longtime collaborator Andrew Wyatt round it out.


6. Holding Absence — Modern Life Is Lonely

Label: Sumerian Records  |  Critics: 80 vs Fans: 85

Fourth album and first for new label Sumerian, one of the best-reviewed releases of the week on both sides. Emotional post-hardcore that ebbs between soft synths and caustic waves of feeling. A genuine highlight in the band's catalog so far.

Tracklist: 1. Reanimate, 2. Reflection, 3. Heaven, 4. Modern Life Is Lonely, 5. Take Me With You, 6. shells_like_us.int, 7. Whisper Of A Dream, 8. Lucid Love, 9. Scorched Earth, 10. lullaby.int, 11. Kyoto Snow


7. Lizzy McAlpine — Angel

Label: RCA Records  |  Critics: 74 vs Fans: 82

Her fourth album, described as a sonic expansion drawing from '70s Laurel Canyon folk and contemporary indie. First album cover without her likeness on it, painted and chalked by artist tidy.totes. Features a duet with John Mayer on "Never Gonna Be Alone." A record about the long road back to yourself.


8. Kim Petras — Detour (Rare N' Deluxe)

Label: Amigo / BunHead  |  Fans: 83 (no critic score yet)

The deluxe edition of her independently-released Detour, adding five fan-demanded tracks including "Autobahn," the darker sister song to "Jeep." Her first fully independent era since leaving Republic Records. Still that unmistakable hyperpop sound, just with a little more edge this time.


9. Anthrax — Cursum Perficio

Label: Nuclear Blast / Megaforce  |  Critics: 76 vs Fans: 77

Their 12th album and first in ten years, the longest gap of their career. Recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 with producer Jay Ruston. The title is Latin for "my journey has come to an end," though the band insists this isn't a farewell. Classic thrash energy with a slightly modern edge — a strong return from the legends.

Tracklist: 1. Persistence of Memory, 2. The Long Goodbye, 3. It's For the Kids, 4. Everybody's Got A Plan, 5. The Edge of Perfection, 6. Infectious, 7. NYC 93, 8. Cursum Perficio, 9. T.O.M.B., 10. Watch It Go, 11. My Victory


10. Yeat — COCOON

Fans: 70 (no critic score yet)

A surprise EP that started as a self-described "luh 5 pack" made on tour and grew to seven tracks, capped off with a late-arriving Drake feature. Classic Yeat chaos: spontaneous rollout, unconventional song titles, and a fanbase that turns every snippet into an event.

Tracklist: 1. earnëd it, 2. in2that, 3. luh birk, 4. holy watër, 5. cocoon, 6. tennis, 7. miss my dawg! (feat. Drake)


That's the stack for this week. Grab whatever's calling to you and we'll see you next Friday.
