La Dispute, Black Lips, Future Islands and more

La Dispute - Rooms Of The House (Better Living/Resist)

The five friends from La Dispute will be releasing their third studio album this week which draws parallels from frontman Jordan Dreyer's life. Each element is captured to full effect according to TheMusic's Benny Doyle and therefore makes it an album very worth listening to.

Future Islands - Singles (4AD/Remote Control)

Synth-pop trio Future Islands will be releasing their fourth album this Friday which marks their 4AD label debut and has definitely blasted them into the stratosphere according our reviewer Brendan Telford. With a recent stint on The Late Show With David Letterman and an impressive showing at SXSW, it's no wonder that this Baltimore-based band will only have bigger things to come.

I Am The Avalanche - Wolverines (Rude/Rocket)

New York rockers I Am The Avalanche will unveil their next full length album tomorrow, which features a badass three-eyed wolf on the album cover. Once again, The Music's Benny Doyle gives the thumbs up, stating that "it's hard to find a weakness across the board" of this release.

Black Lips - Underneath The Rainbow (Vice/ADA)

Self-proclaimed "flower-punk" band Black Lips will fill ears with lyrics drenched in filth when they reveal their new album this Friday. It's a soundtrack you want on a road trip or before a big night out so get ready for the weekend with the Black Lips and their new tunes.
