Welcome back to the Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases, our seasonal guide to new music. Four times a year, we round up a list of albums, singles, EPs, reissues, and more arriving in the coming months. This installment covers fall 2017, starting today and taking us to the end of the year. (Please note that release dates may change.) To start things off, we’ve highlighted a few particularly notable releases, including albums by the National, Alvvays, Zola Jesus, Gucci Mane, Moses Sumney, Kamasi Washington, Morrissey, King Krule, Destroyer, St. Vincent, and more.

The National: Sleep Well Beast (September 8, 4AD)

It’s been four years since the National released their last full-length album, and they return this year with Sleep Well Beast. “We recorded so much music: focusing in on what the album is, that gets more intense in the old way. But this time, we weren't so interested in constructing a polished or elaborately tightly-knit kind of record,” Aaron Dessner told Pitchfork in May. “We allowed ourselves to have more sounds that are just hanging out there in the mist.” Although the album comes out on September 8, the band will perform it live in its entirety on September 5.

Alvvays: Antisocialites (September 8, Polyvinyl/Transgressive)

Antisocialites is the second album from Canadian indie-pop band Alvvays, following their 2014 self-titled debut. “This record is a fantasy breakup arc and my life nearly imitated art,” frontwoman Molly Rankin said of the record. Antisocialites features “In Undertow” and “Dreams Tonite.”

Mount Kimbie: Love What Survives (September 8, Warp)

Love What Survives follows Mount Kimbie’s 2013 album Cold Spring Fault Less Youth. The record features King Krule (“Blue Train Line”), James Blake (“We Go Home Together”), Micachu (“Marilyn”), and others.

Zola Jesus: Okovi (September 8, Sacred Bones)

Zola Jesus returns to Sacred Bones with her new release, Okovi. She released her last album, 2014’s Taiga, on Mute. Check out track reviews of “Exhumed,” “Soak,” and “Siphon,” and read Pitchfork’s new interview “Zola Jesus Turns Tragedy into a Torrential Sound on Her New Album.”

Hundred Waters: Communicating (September 14, OWSLA)

Hundred Waters’ new LP, Communicating, follows 2014’s The Moon Rang Like a Bell and a 2015 remix album. The new record includes the previously shared “Particle,” “Blanket Me,” and “Fingers.”

Ariel Pink: Dedicated to Bobby Jameson (September 15, Mexican Summer)

Earlier this year, Ariel Pink teamed up with Weyes Blood to release their collaborative EP Myths 002. Now, he returns with his first solo LP since 2014’s Pom Pom. He’s previewed the album with several singles, including “Another Weekend,“ “Feels Like Heaven,” and “Time to Live.”

Gucci Mane: Mr. Davis (September 15, Guwop Enterprises/Atlantic)

Gucci Mane continues his prolific output with a new album that features Migos, Nicki Minaj, the Weeknd, Big Sean, A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Monica, Slim Jxmmi, and many others. Mr. Davis follows Droptopwop and his numerous 2016 projects. Revisit Pitchfork’s “Driving Into Gucci Mane’s 2014 Vaults.”

Hiss Golden Messenger: Hallelujah Anyhow (September 22, Merge)

It hasn’t even been a full year since Hiss Golden Messenger released his last LP, Heart Like a Levee, but singer-songwriter M.C. Taylor returns this year with his latest. He recorded his new project with Megafaun’s Brad Cook, who also contributed bass. “Love is the only way out,” Taylor said in a statement. “I’ve never been afraid of the darkness; it’s just a different kind of light. And if some days that belief comes harder than others, hallelujah anyhow.”
