The year is in full swing, and there are tons of great albums already hitting the streets, so wanted to throw my weight behind a few great releases. We’re all over the world today, with one of my favorite Austin artists, Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, getting their new LP out there. Then we bounce over to Finland with our friends Soliti releasing a new Pink Chameleons album. Jump over to Australia with Shrapnel then come home to NYC with Rosa Bordallo. Got those streams below for you.

To save us all from the doom and gloom, tons of great albums are dropping today and we thought it’d be cool to give you some streams and links all in one place. Hopefully you can find something to take with you for the weekend, and of course, please make a purchase in some way if the tunes are in your lane. Check ’em all out after the jump:
