3 New Albums Out This Week You Should Listen to Now: Rival Consoles, Nilüfer Yanya, and JID
There’s so much good music out in the ether that sometimes it’s difficult to parse through all of it. Every week The Daily Music Report will do the hard work for you and highlight the best releases available on streaming services.
This week we’re highlighting new music from Rival Consoles, Nilüfer Yanya, and JID.
Rival Consoles – Landscape from Memory
Rival Consoles returns with Landscape from Memory, his ninth studio album. Emerging from a period of creative stasis, Ryan Lee West found inspiration in forgotten audio fragments, weaving them into rich, cinematic compositions that balance analogue synth textures, intricate percussion, and heartfelt themes. Tracks like ‘Catherine’ and ‘Gaivotas’ showcase his signature blend of ambient, minimal techno, and experimental pop, while subtle sonic surprises keep the hour-long journey dynamic. Released via Erased Tapes, the album reaffirms West’s status as a master of thoughtful, high-concept electronic music.
Standout Songs: ‘Catherine,’ ‘Gaivotas,’ ‘Coda,’ ‘Jupiter,’ and ‘In a Trance.’

Nilüfer Yanya – Dancing Shoes EP
Nilüfer Yanya’s Dancing Shoes EP continues to build on the themes from her 2024 album My Method Actor, revisiting previously shelved ideas with a renewed sense of purpose. Completed alongside longtime collaborator Wilma Archer, the four-track collection clocks in at just 16 minutes—but its emotional weight and sonic depth make it feel much longer. Tracks like ‘Kneel’ and ‘Cold Heart’ pair laidback guitar lines with quiet tension, while ‘Where to Look’ and ‘Treason’ strip things back for soul-baring, intimate reflections.
Standout Songs: ‘Kneel,’ and ‘Cold Heart.’

JID – GDLU (Preluxe) EP
Announced just days before its release, JID sets the stage for his upcoming album God Does Like Ugly with GDLU (Preluxe). With a runtime just under 17 minutes, the four-track project delivers sharp bars, dynamic flows, and production that shifts from gospel-infused warmth to string-laced grit. With guest appearances from Lil Yachty, 6LACK, and Eminem, GDLU (Preluxe) teases the next chapter in JID’s evolution.
Standout Songs: ‘Behold,’ and ‘Animals (Pt. I)’ [with Eminem].
