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 2018, starting with Friday, September 7. (Please note that release dates may change.) To start things off, we’ve highlighted a few particularly notable releases, including albums and EPs by Thom Yorke, Aphex Twin, Cat Power, Spiritualized, Low, Mount Eerie, boygenius, Prince, BROCKHAMPTON, Octavian, Noname, and others.
Joey Purp: QUARTERTHING (September 7, self-released)
Chicago rapper Joey Purp is following his self-released 2016 mixtape iiiDrops with a new project called QUARTERTHING. Executive produced by Nate Fox, Nico Segal and Peter Cottontale, the project includes contributions from GZA, RZA, Ravyn Lenae, and Knox Fortune, among others.
Spiritualized: And Nothing Hurt (September 7, Fat Possum/Bella Union)
Six years after the release of Sweet Heart Sweet Light, Jason Pierce is back with a new Spiritualized album. “I’m a lot older now and in a weird way I think it’s my last record,” he said in autumn 2016. He added in a recent press release, “It was such hard work. I found myself going crazy for so long.” Read Pitchfork’s review of And Nothing Hurt’s “I’m Your Man” and “A Perfect Miracle.”
Octavian: SPACEMAN (September 10, Black Butter)
Octavian’s SPACEMAN mixtape is the London rapper’s first new project since 2017’s Essie World. The 14-track tape does not include his 2018 singles (“100 Degrees,” “Hands,” “Little,” and “Move Me”) or his breakout track “Party Here.” The mixtape cover was created by Armin Druzanovic, Michael Phan, and Virgil Abloh. Read Pitchfork’s track review of SPACEMAN’s “Revenge,” as well as the Rising profile “Octavian Is Shaping the Sound of Rap in 2018—Just Ask Drake.”
Aphex Twin: Collapse EP (September 14, Warp)
When the Aphex Twin logo appeared in cities across the world earlier this year—on buildings in New York City and underground stations in London—Richard D. James’ return appeared imminent. Soon after, he made it official, announcing the Collapse EP and dropping the song “T69 Collapse.” Collapse follows 2016’s Cheetah EP.
Low: Double Negative (September 14, Sub Pop)
Low decamped to Justin Vernon’s April Base studio in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to record their latest album, Double Negative. The follow-up to 2015’s Ones and Sixes was produced by B.J. Burton. Check out Pitchfork’s review of “Disarray” (named Best New Track).
Christine and the Queens: Chris (September 21, Because)
Chris is the second record from Héloïse Letissier, better known as Christine and the Queens. “[Chris] gets to be a bit more exhilarating, because I get to say, okay, I’ve been introduced now,” Letissier said in a statement. “I get to be more confident, and it matches what happened in my life as a woman.” Read the track review of “Doesn’t Matter.”
Mount Eerie: (after) (September 21, P.W. Elverum & Sun)
Recorded at a church in the Netherlands in November 2017, Phil Elverum’s latest release as Mount Eerie is a live album featuring songs from last year’s A Crow Looked at Me and this year’s Now Only. “Does it bring anything new to the songs to hear them in this way? My hope is: yes,” he wrote in a statement. “This is a recording of these ultra-intimate songs living in the real world among people, and of peoples’ wide eyed accepting silence, and clapping.” Read Pitchfork’s profile “Death Is Real: Mount Eerie’s Phil Elverum Copes With Unspeakable Tragedy,” as well as “Love Is Real: On Phil Elverum Marrying Michelle Williams” on the Pitch.
Prince: Piano & A Microphone: 1983 (September 21, Warner Bros.)
Piano & A Microphone: 1983 is an unearthed collection from Prince’s vaults recorded during a rehearsal at his home studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The nine-song LP includes solo piano renditions of “Purple Rain,” Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You,” and “Mary Don’t You Weep.” The latter recording featured prominently in Spike Lee’s latest film, BlacKkKlansman. Spike Lee also directed an extended trailer for the film soundtracked by the song. Read “The Pro-Black Bond Between Spike Lee and Prince” on the Pitch.
Kode9 / Burial: FABRICLIVE 100 (September 28, Fabric)
Burial and Kode9 have come together for the final installment of London nightclub Fabric’s mix series. FABRICLIVE 100 is 74-minutes long. The mix’s announcement also arrived with a rare Burial selfie.
Tim Hecker: Konoyo (September 28, Kranky)
Konoyo is experimental composer Tim Hecker’s first record since 2016’s Love Streams. He recorded the LP during several trips to Japan where he worked with members of the gagaku ensemble Tokyo Gakuso. Check out Pitchfork’s review of Konoyo’s opener “This Life.”
BROCKHAMPTON: Iridescence (September, Question Everything/RCA)
It’s been a real journey toward BROCKHAMPTON’s fourth studio album, now titled Iridescence. Their follow-up to the 2017 SATURATION trilogy was initially teased as a project called PUPPY before allegations of abuse and sexual misconduct against former member Ameer Vann surfaced earlier this year. BROCKHAMPTON kicked Vann out of the group in May, and then appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to perform a new song (“Tonya”) and reveal the working album title the best years of our lives. They subsequently released “1999 WILDFIRE,” “1998 TRUMAN,” and “1997 DIANA.” In August, they revealed the new album title Iridescence.
Noname: Room 25 (September, self-released)
Chicago rapper and singer Noname is gearing up to release the follow-up to her 2016 debut Telefone. She has said that the 11-track Room 25 will feature “the homies.”
Cat Power: Wanderer (October 5, Domino)
Wanderer is Chan Marshall’s first Cat Power album since 2012’s Sun. In a statement, Marshall said the album was inspired by “the course [her] life has taken in this journey—going from town to town, with [her] guitar, telling [her] tale; with reverence to the people who did this generations before [her].” Lana Del Rey guests on the track “Woman.”
Phosphorescent: C’est La Vie (October 5, Dead Oceans)
Matthew Houck’s first Phosphorescent album in five years is the self-produced C’est La Vie. The follow-up to 2013’s Muchacho is led by the single “New Birth in New England.” Regarding the album title, Houck told Pitchfork, “It’s life. It’s weird. It’s so grand and huge, it can reduce you into an idiot. What else can you say?” Read the full interview, “Phosphorescent on Parenthood and His First Album in Five Years, C’est La Vie,” on the Pitch.
Empress Of: Us (October 19, Terrible)
Us is the second album from Lorely Rodriguez aka Empress Of. “It’s been a long two and a half years making this project,” she said of the Me follow-up. Read Pitchfork’s review of the single “When I’m With Him,” named Best New Track.
Neneh Cherry: Broken Politics (October 19, Smalltown Supersound/Awal)
Broken Politics is Neneh Cherry’s fifth solo album. The LP, produced entirely by Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet) was recorded in Woodstock, New York with Hebden, Cherry, and her songwriting partner Cameron McVey. “Maybe politics starts in your bedroom, or your house—a form of activism, and a responsibility,” Cherry said in a statement. “The album is about all of those things: feeling broken, disappointed, and sad, but having perseverance. It’s a fight against the extinction of free thought and spirit.”
Thom Yorke: Suspiria OST (October 26, XL)
Luca Guadagnino, director of Call Me by Your Name, is behind the new reboot of the horror classic Suspiria. Thom Yorke, the frontman of Radiohead and periodic solo artist, has provided that film’s score. The 25-song soundtrack features “Suspirium,” which is as a full-on song with vocals (as opposed to instrumentals like the music of the film’s trailer and clips). Prior to announcing the soundtrack, Yorke discussed how Vangelis’ Blade Runner score inspired him and likened creating the score to “making spells.”
boygenius: boygenius EP (November 9, Matador)
Boygenius is the supergroup comprised of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus. Their first release is a six-song, self-titled EP. In November, Baker, Bridgers, and Dacus will embark on a North American tour together, with each artist performing a solo set. Check out Pitchfork’s Best New Track review of “Me & My Dog.”
The 1975: A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships (TBA, Dirty Hit/Interscope)
The 1975 frontman Matty Healy has said that A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, the Manchester band’s third album, will arrive this fall. So far, they have shared the singles “Give Yourself a Try,” “Love It If We Made It,” and “TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME.” A Brief Inquiry follows 2016’s I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it.
Childish Gambino: TBA (TBA, Wolf+Rothstein/RCA)
In spring 2017, Donald Glover announced that he would be releasing one final album under the Childish Gambino moniker. “I think endings are good because they force things to get better,” he later said in an interview. So far this year, Glover has released three new songs: “This Is America,” “Feels Like Summer,” and “Summertime Magic,” which is the first official single from his next record—the follow-up to 2016’s Grammy-nominated “Awaken, My Love!” He recently fanned the flames of new music rumblings by sending fans two unfinished tracks (“Algorhythm” and “All Night”) ahead of his North American tour.
Lil Wayne: Tha Carter V (TBA, Universal)
After settling two longstanding lawsuits against Birdman and Cash Money in June, Lil Wayne has teased the possibility of finally releasing his long-delayed album, Tha Carter V. It’s allegedly Wayne’s final installment in the Carter series, following 2011’s Tha Carter IV. Read “Lil Wayne’s Long Road to Tha Carter V” on the Pitch.
SOB x RBE: GANGIN II (TBA, SOB X RBE/Empire)
SOB X RBE—the Bay Area rap quartet of Yhung T.O., Slimmy B, Lul G, and DaBoii—released their album Gangin this past February. They recently revealed that its sequel, GANGIN II, is “coming soon.” Check out the track review for their single “Vibes.”
