Welcome to New Music Friday, NPR Music’s podcast dedicated to sharing the best albums out each week. We listen to dozens of new releases in advance, identify the ones we think you need to hear, and highlight our favorite five in a brisk mix of clips, context and commentary.<\/p>\n

The podcast is hosted by NPR Music’s Stephen Thompson, and each episode features a member of the NPR Music Network of public radio stations. This week, our guest is Portland’s own Alex Newman<\/strong> of KMHD<\/a> in Oregon, where he’s on the air every morning from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. PT. (You can stream his show on-demand here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
