Maybe you were too busy barbecuing in the summer and admiring the foliage in the fall to keep up with the new albums coming out. Every few months, our writers and editors round up a list of generally overlooked recent releases that deserve some more attention. None of these albums were named Best New Music, and some weren’t reviewed on Pitchfork at all, but we think they’re all worth a listen. From sun-soaked, aquatic techno to Saharan music shared through WhatsApp, here are some albums you’ll want to listen to.
