Midweek New Music Roundup :: July 10th - 17th

[hitokage]

So if you follow me on Fedi, you already knew I was going to be running late, but I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this late. In hindsight, I probably should've gone to bed instead of continuing to push forward to finish the posting process, but oh well. And while this is posting on the 18th, the banner continues to reference the span between the 10th and 17th and the listing cuts off at roughly 1am EDT yesterday (Wednesday, the 17th). If I'd added the dozen(ish) new releases that had posted after that, it would've taken even longer and this would've been even later and just ... yeah, no. XD

ANYway.... We've got quite the variety of releases again this week, from rock bands NORAZO and Hi-Fi Un!corn, to hiphop artists pH-1 and Lee Youngji, trot singer Yeom Yuri, the re-debut of APEX, a handful of OSTs, and more comebacks than you can shake a stick at! Dreamcatcher, NCT 127, Jeong Eunji of APINK, JYPE's Boy Story and NiziU, Lena Park, FTIsland ... and the list goes on and on.

This week's banner artist is Big Ocean because they're my babies, with additional picks going to Hi-Fi Un!corn, ENHYPEN, and Yeom Yuri, though it was definitely tough to narrow things down! What are your favorites? Any surprises? Let's chat!
