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<p>The podcast is hosted by NPR Music&#8217;s Stephen Thompson, and each episode features a member of the NPR Music Network of public radio stations. This week, our guest is Erin Wolf from Radio Milwaukee&#8217;s 88Nine, where she hosts <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/radiomilwaukee.org\/people\/erin-wolf\" target=\"_blank\"><em>What&#8217;s All This: Adventures In New Music<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll down to see which albums we discussed this week and links to our New Music Friday playlists, where you can hear singles from each album. Then scroll down to a new list, Dora&#8217;s Corner, where NPR Music production assistant Dora Levite shares her favorite albums that didn&#8217;t make the podcast.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-backstage-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap backstage\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<h2 class=\"edTag\">The Starting 5<\/h2>\n<div id=\"resg-s1-108824\" class=\"bucketwrap image large\">\n<div class=\"imagewrap has-source-dimensions\" data-crop-type=\"\" style=\"&#10;        --source-width: 5927;&#10;        --source-height: 2726;&#10;    \">\n        <picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/400\/quality\/85\/format\/webp\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg 400w,&#10;https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/800\/quality\/85\/format\/webp\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg 800w,&#10;https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/1000\/quality\/85\/format\/webp\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg 1000w,&#10;https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/1300\/quality\/85\/format\/webp\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg 1300w,&#10;https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/1600\/quality\/85\/format\/webp\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg 1600w,&#10;https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/2000\/quality\/85\/format\/webp\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg 2000w,&#10;https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/2600\/quality\/85\/format\/webp\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg 2600w\" data-template=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims3\/default\/strip\/false\/crop\/5927x2726+0+304\/resize\/{width}\/quality\/{quality}\/format\/{format}\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F92%2F4e%2Faf9b8cfd4a14b4ab7d3fc92da135%2Fb-glenn-copeland-elizabeth-copeland-3-credit-wade-muir.jpg\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1300px) 1238px, (min-width: 1025px) calc(100vw -
