Essential Full-Length Releases

Courtney Barnett - Tell Me How You Really Feel

Frog Eyes - Violet Psalms

The eighth album from Frog Eyes will also reportedly be the band's last and was followed by a farewell tour. The album was recorded at the home of members Carey Mercer and Melanie Campbell. Although the band has counted members of Wolf Parade and The New Pornographers as bandmates, the record is stripped back to just the four core members.

Watch: "Your Boss’s Shirt"

Patrick Paige II - Letters of Irrelevance

Paige is a member of the The Internet, who also released a new album this year. He serves as the band's bassist, but shows off his own voice on his debut. Similar to his work in The Internet, the album combines soul, funk, and hip hop.
