And we’re back! Well, in truth, I didn’t go anywhere. But the music gods definitely took a break last week, dropping a mere 230 new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues, cassettes and steaming releases instead of the usual 500. But now that the stat holidays are behind us, things are getting back to normal — and the count is nosing north of the 400 mark again. If you’re looking for new tunes to get through the early days of summer, look no further:
