Finally! After multiple weeks with upwards of 400 releases, the music gods are finally taking a break for the summer — or at least for the week. Of course, break is a relative term — there are still more than 300 albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes on the way. But I’m not complaining. Not much, anyway:
