New Music Friday host Stephen Thompson is joined by Izzi Bavis of Baltimore public radio station WTMD to discuss 10 exciting albums out March 21, including Japanese Breakfast's long-awaited For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women).
Read our long list of albums out March 21 and stream our New Music Friday playlist over here.
