If you’re a PRESS PLAY regular, you might have noticed the often-exhaustive list of titles under the heading “FURTHER LISTENING.” I would strongly encourage you to check out some of this week’s honorable mentions, including stellar comebacks by Great Grandpa and Sacred Paws, a companion soundtrack to the latest Assassins Creed video game by Indie Rock Hit Parade/World Café veterans TEKE::TEKE, and a trio of mind-expanding reissues from the folks at International Anthem.
