Another diverse slate of new releases out today is headed by Arcade Fire's Everything Now, a record accompanied by a pr blitz including fake lawsuits and dodgy dress codes. Offerings from Alice Cooper and Accept will please the hard rock fans, while fast-rising stars Julia Michaels and Annie Hart are also featured.

On the Canadian side, alt-folkie Mappe Of and rockers Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs are young artists to watch, while BadBadNotGood contribute to the Late Night Tales series.

Happy listening!
