Listen to Noise Pop's latest new music mix, featuring Moonface, Ty Segall and White Fence, Japandroids, AU, and more.
Blame it on the season! There's been an abnormal amount of new music released in the last few weeks and man, is it wonderful. Clearly spring has sprung for the music industry and we're fortunate enough to reap the rewards.

First Listen: Mount Kimbie, 'Cold Spring Fault Less Youth'
The British beat-makers shed their electronics in pursuit of a sound designed to translate live. For their second album, Mount Kimbie's Dominic Maker and Kai Campos even trot out languid vocal performances and a real live drum kit, while still sounding like themselves in the process.

First Listen: Tricky, 'False Idols'
The producer's best album since the mid-'90s, False Idols is one of 2013's biggest surprises so far. His signature mix of menace and seduction still sounds contemporary after Tricky's more than 20 years in (and out of) the spotlight.

First Listen: Laura Marling, 'Once I Was An Eagle'
Marling's songs dig well beyond the everyday, with each sung in a wise, dusky, brooding voice that always seems in control of its surroundings. The U.K. folksinger's fourth album, Once I Was an Eagle, takes a remarkable journey over the course of 16 hypnotic, subtly inventive songs.

First Listen: Sean Nelson, 'Make Good Choices'
Eight years after his last album with Harvey Danger, Nelson returns with a wonderfully catchy and quotable solo record. True to virtually every piece of music the singer-songwriter has ever written, Make Good Choices is fueled by a cocktail of quotability and charm.
