Novena's New Music Friday Must Hear's & Coachella Must See's
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

New Music Friday arrives a day early this week as we dive into singles from a few of 2024’s most anticipated releases. The perpetually dramatique dance duo Justice have joined forces with Tame Impala for “One Night/All Night” ahead of the April 26 release of new album Hyperdrama via Ed Banger/Because Music. Late-aughts icons MGMT (who are having a moment) ready Loss Of Life, their first new album since 2018’s Little Dark Age. And Empress Of has officially announced the new LP For Your Consideration, due March 22 via Major Arcana / Giant Music — enjoy the late 2023 single “Femenine” during this edition of MBE while you wait.
