Upcoming Album of the Week (Ending September 30)

The National are currently on tour promoting their latest record, Sleep Well Beast. At just about each stop, they've covered various songs by iconic bands, hitting The Talking Heads, New Order, and Queen so far. I wouldn't be angry if they were to release an album of cover songs, it would be pre-ordered probably the moment it was announced. If that does happen, be sure to check it on my Upcoming Releases page!

This week, French pop and electronic artist Mai Lan announced her sophomore album, Autopilote.

Mai Lan started her career as a member of Kourtrajmé 3 and helping to soundtrack her brother's, Kim Chapiron, 2006 film Sheitan. She released her debut eponymous album in 2012, then followed that up with some collaborations with fellow French musician M83 on his 2016 album, Junk.

Her most recent release was an EP, Vampire, earlier this year. She recently released a video for the EP's opening track, "Pas d'amour", and announced her new album.

Autopilote is set for release on November 3.
