Friday 21 August is shaping up as one of the busier late-summer alternative release days.
Chelsea Wolfe's The Dark arrives tomorrow, while the previously announced schedule also includes new records from DMA'S, Wild Pink, The Afghan Whigs, Time Spent Driving and MyVeronica.
The useful strategy today is therefore to investigate Thursday's smaller releases before tomorrow's larger campaigns consume the music press and streaming front pages.
Greatsouth, Spaer, Sex Mask and Sandra Bell are particularly strong places to start, while SUNBLEACHED and Anya Alchemy provide fresh singles rather than full-length commitments.
