It’s Friday, and you know what that means — another crop of new music to get through. Thankfully, since it’s still the first weekend of January, it’s a fairly small crop. The cream, of course, is Dawn FM, the new album from The Weeknd. But there are also new releases from Burial and RuPaul, along with some excellent reissues from David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen. Eric Alper and I will run through all of them on today’s edition of Sonic Reducers. One topic. Two music nerds. Five minutes. Everything you need to know. And be sure to check our Twitter accounts on Saturday for the Sonic Reducers Weekend Edition, when Eric will share some of the most incredible music artifacts you’re likely to see.
