Eight records we can't wait to hear this fall — Miley's Bass Persuades, Carly Rae Jepsen's 24-track double album, Fontaines D.C.'s fifth with producer James Ford, The Avalanches' long-awaited return and more.
Bass Persuades
MileyMiley's tenth album — and her first under the mononym Miley — lands September 18 on Atlantic. She calls it a 'love story' built with Kid Harpoon and Maxx Morando; the gritty title track arrived September 3, with two Hollywood Bowl shows to follow in October.
Day and Night
Carly Rae JepsenA 24-track double album split into a 'Day' half of raw, '70s-tinted psychedelic pop and a 'Night' half of sleek, synth-driven dance-pop. Four singles are already out, including 'On Wires' and 'Don't Leave Me on the Dance Floor'.
Ride Lonesome
BeckBeck's fifteenth album and his first new music in seven years, produced by Beck and mixed by Nigel Godrich. The title track — plus a version with Sierra Ferrell — has been on the road since April.
Pylon

Popstar

The Gem
Julia JacklinThe Australian songwriter returns September 25 on 4AD — one of the fall's most quietly anticipated releases.
Dopamine Chamber
