Playing Catch-Up | Today’s Crapload of New Album Release Dates

Need another 70 albums to add to your fall calendar? You came to the right place.

To quote the immortal David Lee Roth: ‘We have always hated each other.’ No, wait. That’s the wrong line. What I meant to say was: ‘Heard you missed me … I’m back!’ After a week of driving back and forth across the country to visit the extended family, I have returned to the comfort of my own couch — where I have begun wading through the hundreds of emails and tracks and videos and EPs and albums and whatnot that arrived in my absence. Since I still have holiday head, let’s start with the easy stuff: New-album release dates. About 70 showed up in the past couple of days — brand-new titles from big names like Beyonce, Tegan & Sara, Elbow and Steel Panther, reissues from Stereolab and Caravan, and dozens of offerings from your favourite indie artists. Check out the whole list below. Or head over to the Upcoming Releases page to see all this fall’s discs at a glance. And with that, here we go again …
