New releases: 7/1

Today’s another new release Friday, and one that comes before we in the U.S. get a long weekend to sleep in, maybe have a barbecue with friends or family, and celebrate our nation’s founding. And what better way to say “hooray America!” than to spend some cash at your local record shop. The list of new releases out today includes the long-awaited new album by Maxwell, which is our Album of the Week, as well as the latest from Blood Orange and Bat For Lashes. Take a look at the list of new releases below, which you can listen to all weekend if you get a head start now!
