Best New Releases, Week of June 5th, Vol. II – Ian McGlynn, Knesset, M. Billy, Mynabirds, Alejandro Escovedo, The Temper Trap

In Wednesday’s posting of Volume One of the Best New Releases for the week of June 5-11, top choices went to The Hives, Japandroids, Crocodiles, Pomegranates, Teen Daze, Pujol, Michael The Blind and others.

Volume II kicks off with a new single from Ian McGlynn that will probably end up on some summer playlists. His new album is titled, Now We’re Golden. Phoenix-based band Knesset follow with sprawling melodies and intricate structures on “Steady Hands,” followed by an artist we only know as M. Billy, and Mynabirds pick up with the pace with a track that sounds like world music more than pop. Austin‘s legendary Alejandro Escovedo’s and The Temper Trap‘s new singles are delivered via SoundCloud.
