On first glance, autumn may seem to be a season where everything slows down. The summer is over. Leaves turn brown, the temperatures drop, kids go back to school, and everyone settles into their daily lives, bracing for winter. But in the music scene, it's often a time when things start to really rev up. Sure, the summer festival season will soon be behind us, but with countless major album releases and huge tours slated for the coming months, and more being announced every day, it's bound to be an exciting season this year. Here at 89.3 The Current, we've been getting pretty excited, so we've rounded up our staff's most anticipated releases for the fall. Check out what everybody had to say below!

the movie they made with Edward Sharpe , and their current "Gentlemen of the Road" tour. But when they debuted "I Will Wait" on the BBC Tuesday, Ben Lovett of the band (anticipating the hype perhaps) said, "It's the worst track on the album. It's only up from here!" And when asked about making the follow-up, he replied, "We didn't want to do anything massively new, not push the boat out too much. We're quite a basic band in our mentality, we didn't want to get too heady with it."
