Adrenaline Mob Coverta EP

Audio Adrenaline Kings & Queens

Devendra Banhart
Mala LISTEN (3voor12)

The first release in four years for L.A.-based indie-folk-rock artist is also his debut for his new label Nonesuch. Banhart he co-produced the stylistically diverse set with Noah Georgeson of his touring band. Critics so far don't seem to like it as much as his earlier work, with some finding Mala a bit uneven.

Biffy Clyro Opposites LISTEN (Rolling Stone)

US release

Binary Amber EP

Bon Jovi What About Now

David Bowie
The Next Day

Bowie's first album in a decade reunites the music legend (now 66) with his longtime producer Tony Visconti. While Bowie has long been at the stage where every new release is hailed as a glorious return to form, that description actually seems to fit The Next Day, which intentionally echoes key moments from throughout his career (including on the album cover itself, which is basically Heroes redacted), and which has also been receiving terrific early reviews. Note that the deluxe edition includes three additional tracks.
