    Need a release? How about several? Find us feeling euphoric as we arrive upon New Release Friday once again. De Lux's dynamic, hyper-meta new record, “Do You Need a Release?,” rides the tension of colliding emotions in all the right ways. Stones Throw artist Sofie Royer drops her sophomore album, “Harlequin,” a wryly observed and orchestrated homage to her hometown of Vienna, Austria. Plus, another new single from Björk as the release of her highly anticipated album, “Fossora”, rapidly approaches.

    It’s an exciting time to be a music lover indeed, and we want to celebrate that feeling with you. Let’s do some listening together.
