9 Must-Listen New Albums: Panda Bear, Marie Davidson, Darkside & More

There’s so much awesome music coming out all the time that choosing what to hear first can feel like a puzzle.

Every week, a list of cool new albums you can stream pops up, featuring fresh tunes from Panda Bear, Marie Davidson, Darkside, Ichiko Aoba, Kilbourne, Boldy James & Chuck Strangers, Deep Sea Diver, Cheekface, and Saffron Bloom. If you love discovering new music every Friday like clockwork and want it delivered straight to your inbox, there’s a newsletter for that. (By the way, editors handpick these releases independently—though buying through their links might earn them some cash.)

Panda Bear’s latest album Sinister Grift is like stepping into a sunny daydream with melodies that float around your mind. For this album’s magic touch, nearly all his Animal Collective pals joined in on the fun. Josh “Deakin” Dibb helped produce this follow-up to Buoys and Reset, inviting guests like Cindy Lee and Rivka Ravede from Spirit of the Beehive to sprinkle some extra color into his musical world. Oneohtrix Point Never describes it as “classic rock dream that ebbs beautifully into a little bit of a nightmare.”

Fans sometimes wonder if they will ever get tired of such enchanting sounds.

You can dive into Panda Bear’s world on Apple Music or Spotify—or wherever else you prefer to listen or buy music.

Marie Davidson is back with her album City of Clowns, bringing her unique vibes through Deewee for everyone craving something different.
