Lambchop: This (is what I wanted to tell you) [March 22, Merge]

Kurt Wagner’s Lambchop are set to drop their follow-up to 2016’s FLOTUS on March 22. Lambchop are calling it their 14th release, superstitiously skipping the number 13. This (is what I wanted to tell you) was recorded with help from Matt McCaughan (younger brother of Merge/Superchunk founder Mac McCaughan) and legendary harmonica player Charlie McCoy. It features the previously shared singles “The December-ish you,” “Everything for you,” and “Crosswords, or what this says about you.” –Braudie Blais-Billie

Fennesz: Agora [March 29, Touch]

Agora is Austrian guitarist and producer Christian Fennesz’s first solo studio album in five years, following 2014’s Bécs. The LP was recorded during a time when the musician had “lost a proper studio workspace,” forcing him to create with “very minimal equipment.” Fennesz’s last release was the 2016 Jim O’Rourke collaboration It’s Hard for Me to Say I’m Sorry. –Braudie Blais-Billie

Priests: The Seduction of Kansas [April 5, Sister Polygon]

D.C. trio Priests’ The Seduction of Kansas was produced by John Congleton and features contributions from cellist Janel Leppin and the band’s new touring bassist Alexandra Tyson.

Anderson .Paak: Ventura [April 12, Aftermath/12 Tone]

MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA follows last year’s LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’, which became the first Korean-language album to top the Billboard 200 chart in America. BTS are set to perform shows in the United States and Europe this year. Plus, they’ll make their “Saturday Night Live” debut in April. –Noah Yoo
