It’s New Music Friday, and the freezing cold won’t keep us from streaming some excellent new albums over the weekend.

Today marks the arrival of Sam Fender’s third album People Watching, which he worked on alongside The War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel. There’s also a new album from Tate McRae, who has tons of momentum after the smash success of her 2023 song “Greedy.” Meanwhile, rising artists like Anxious, Anna Shoemaker, and The Murder Capital return with exciting full-length statements.

Here are eight new albums to stream today.

Abdomen — Yes, I Don’t Know

Abdomen are a Dutch power trio who come through with washed-out, angular indie rock. Today, they return with their sophomore effort, Yes, I Don’t Know. The new tunes are off-kilter and engaging, leaning hard on repetition and dynamics to foster an unpredictable and exciting tone.
