A week full of surprises and delights sees new music from The Strokes, whose first single in seven years prefigures their sixth studio album The New Abnormal, electronic pioneers Oval, and actor-turned-musician Caleb Landry Jones, who leans back and lounges on a couple of psychedelic tracks marking his debut on Sacred Bones Records. Grimes gives birth to Miss Anthropocene with a song called ‘Delete Forever’ about the opioid crisis, MHYSA figures newness on the soulful and spectral NEVAEH, and Tame Impala, Chrystabell, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, U.S. Girls, Hayley Williams, and Hilary Woods are among assorted other artists busy rolling out their new albums. Meanwhile Billie Eilish’s ‘No Time To Die’ from the upcoming James Bond film sounds suitably despairing and deluxe.
