It's Monday, you know what that means.

For our first AMA of September, we're excited to announce that Allah-Las will join us for an AMA this Wednesday, September 2nd at 1pm ET/10am PT!

Their new album, Sirenas, is out now via Mexican Summer in partnership with Calico Discos and features the singles "Ultramarine", "Pt. Conception" and "Vini da Gama." Today, the band kicks off an IE/UK/EU tour that'll take them all the way into mid-September before they return stateside for a number of California shows in the fall (and one stop in NYC for a Reverberation Radio DJ Set).

So, swing back this Wednesday as Allah-Las join us for an AMA!

New Music Friday is the weekly thread dedicated to cataloging all a good majority of the Album/EP releases that came out this week, including non-subreddit relevant releases. This is also a great place to discuss these albums, or bring to attention other albums released this week.

❓ "this seems intriguing after a cursory look"

⭐ "im interested in this for one reason or another"

❤️ "ive been waiting for weeks, months/i'm absolutely in love with this"

note: genre and especially label fields may not always be 100% accurate or properly reflected, as they are mostly quickly sourced from RYM or cursory searches due to the spur-of-the-moment approach I take when making these threads!
