Jake Christensen

So far 2015 has been an amazing year for music releases. It’s only April and we’ve already received amazing albums from Sufjan Stevens, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Panda Bear, Father John Misty, Sleater-Kinney, Courtney Barnett, Björk and many others.

2015 is showing no sign of slowing down with many great albums, singles, and EPs coming out in the coming months. Below I have compiled a list of the most notable releases from various artist and genres for Spring 2015.
