Hardly getting to go through all of last week's strong releases, we are back again with another list of hopeful albums from many solid artists. Headlining the list for the week includes Augustana, Santogold, Portishead, Run Kid Run, South and The New Frontiers.
As many recall, it was two and a half years ago when Augustana released All the Stars and Boulevards, which featured "Boston". Their new Can't Love, Can't Hurt album will be aiming to slightly change that sound.
The highly hyped Santogold, or Santi White for the lay person, has released her self-titled album today. Previously she worked with artists Lily Allen, Res and Ashley Simpson by means of writing and producing tracks.
Portishead is releasing their first album since their self-titled album in 1997 with Third while Run Kid Run (This Is Who We Are) is releasing their sophomore album, Love at the Core, and The New Frontiers is releasing their debut album, Mending.
Lastly, from the UK, South makes their appearance with You Are Here. This is their first freshest material since 2004 and their new album really hits the spot.
