The Highwomen: The Highwomen [September 6, Low Country Sound/Elektra]

The Highwomen are a new country group featuring songwriters Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby. As if that wasn’t enough star power, their self-titled debut features appearances from Miranda Lambert, Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow, Tanya Tucker, Lori McKenna, and several others. “Anyone can be a Highwoman,” Carlile said in a press release. “It’s about banding together, abandoning as much ego as humanly possible, holding one another up, and amplifying other women every chance we get. Shoulder to shoulder. One push, one love.” –Sam Sodomsky

Lower Dens: The Competition [September 6, Ribbon]

The Competition is Lower Dens’ first full-length since 2015’s Escape From Evil. The Baltimore band announced the record by sharing the single “Young Republicans,” which arrived with a retro music video. Of the album, Lower Dens’ vocalist Jana Hunter said, “I was wild and in a lot of pain as a kid; home life was very bleak, and pop songs were a guaranteed escape to a mental space where beauty, wonder, and love were possible. I wanted to write songs that might have the potential to do that.” –Michelle Kim

Octo Octa: Resonant Body [September 6, T4T LUV NRG]

DJ/producer Octo Octa is releasing her third album Resonant Body on T4T LUV NRG, the label she co-founded with fellow producer Eris Drew. The New Hampshire artist recorded the collection of house, breaks, and techno tracks in her home state at the end of 2018 to “channel the resonance of the forest, the beauty of the river and the energy from the rituals she conducts within it.” –Noah Yoo

Sandro Perri: Soft Landing [September 6, Constellation]

One year after releasing In Another Life—a four-song album with tracks that stretched out for more than 20 minutes and featured guest vocals from Dan Bejar—Toronto’s Sandro Perri is back with a new album. It opens with a 16-minute track called “Time (You Got Me)” and features music Perri has been working on for the last 10 years. –Evan Minsker

Alex Cameron: Miami Memory [September 13, Secretly Canadian]

Alex Cameron’s follow-up to 2017’s Forced Witness is a love letter to his girlfriend, actress Jemima Kirke. “When you listen to these songs, and you're waiting for the twist, or the joke, or any kind of discomfort, I can assure you none of those things were there when I wrote them,” Cameron said in a statement. “Miami Memory is the story of a couple balancing sex with contemporary family values... a symbol to hoist on the totem of love.” –Madison Bloom
