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 Andy Shauf, Yo La Tengo, and Paramore.

Andy Shauf – Norm

Canadian singer/songwriter Andy Shauf has done it again. Released via ANTI-, Norm consists of impressive musical arrangements and a devotion to storytelling. Worthy of multiple re-listens, Norm doesn’t have a wasted thought. Just sit back, unwind, and let the record take you away.

Standout Songs: Wasted On You, Catch Your Eye, Paradise Cinema, Halloween Store, Sunset, Don’t Let It Get To You

Yo La Tengo – This Stupid World

Sixteen albums in, and one would expect any band to rest on their laurels. But not indie rockers, Yo La Tengo. On This Stupid World, the band not only reinvents themselves, but they do it on one of their most enjoyable albums in a decade. Creative and calculating, This Stupid World will serve as an anchor for years to come.

Standout Songs: Fallout, Aseltine, This Stupid World

Paramore – This Is Why

American rock stalwarts Paramore have released their sixth studio album. Entitled This Is Why, their latest effort is a bold step that reaches out in new directions. As the band’s first record in six years, the follow-up to After Laughter needed to be a bold statement. And This Is Why serves that purpose and more. Buoyed by three singles (‘This Is Why,’ ‘The News,’ and C’est Comme Ça), the album plays to the band’s strengths and examines new sounds in the process.

Standout Songs: This Is Why, The News, C’est Comme Ça, Figure 8, Crave
