Fresh Album Fridays: Noname, Neil Young, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and more
Good morning ~ This is a thread to discuss new album releases arriving at our doorsteps today (and until next week). Feel free to share albums and EPs that have caught your eye and interest!
Apologies for no thread last week - it was a quiet week and I was on the road. Back to it!
Discussion Points
What are you looking forward to listen to?
Have you listened to any of these releases?
What are your thoughts?
What have you enjoyed from these artists in the past?
Why Friday?
Most (but not all) new LPs release on a Friday, as labels want to give the release a full week of sales before entering the charts.
~~ Feedback on the format welcome!

How prescient. I was listening to Chrome Dreams II about an hour ago and thinking "What was the deal with Chrome Dreams, again?".
I'm mostly disconnected from the cultural-arts zeitgeist at the moment, but my old pal Neil seems to be having a moment. Perhaps that's just some confirmation bias creeping in.
Any thoughts on this release?
