Find out more about this week's new releases below. 

'22, A Million' - Bon Iver

Bon Iver haven't released a record in four years, which made many fans think that frontman Justin Vernon was done being front and center. He has been keeping himself busy. He's collaborated with the likes of James Blake, Kanye West and Francis and the Lights, and then there's his music festival Eaux Claires, which just celebrated its second year this past August. Needless to say, he hasn't been lying around. But thankfully, he got back into the studio with the band and created 22, A Million.

Unlike his melancholy 2008 LP, For Emma, Forever Ago and even the last record, this one shows just how Justin's past experiences with other artists and just the years have changed up his sound. Not only does he play with the capabilities of auto-tune on songs like "10 dEATtbREasT" and single, "33 “GOD,”" but also embraces the idea of flaws with the insertion of white noise, scratches and notes that might sound a lot like they were mashed together by accident. But it's these sonic risks that Bon Iver takes that show that the band isn't just breaking all the rules but also taking music to a place we've yet to hear it go -- till now. One thing that is refreshing to hear is Justin's natural voice on "8 (circle)."

While some may miss the straightforward balladeer ways of Bon Iver, 22, a Million brings you a new listening experience that might take some time to get used to. But if you stick with it, you're sure to love it.

'Remember Us to Life' - Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor has been quiet for the past four years following the release of her album, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats. And she returns with a collection of piano-driven tunes called Remember Us to Life. While she's known for her ivory-tinged melodies and delicate vocals, she takes some chances on this seventh album.

The album opens with the whimsical "Bleeding Heart," where her high notes float over synths. Then Regina takes her music to another level with "Small Bill$." Not only does is it quirky with all the heavy drums and quick violins sprinkled in the chorus, but it also shows a more upbeat side of the New York City singer. "The Trapper and Furrier" starts off as a poetic monologue and moves into a deep orchestral masterpiece as she sings a lyrical fable. She continues the musical drama with the atmospheric "Obsolete," where piano chords fill your ears as drums crash into it for an explosion of sound.

While Regina throws in a lot of strong sonic elements on Remember Us to Life, she ends on a lighter note with "The Visit" and thanks everyone for taking the time to listen to her tell her tales. And as the leader of this musical journey, she ends it on a pleasant note.

'The Altar' - Banks

While Banks broke into the scene with 2014's Goddess and showed us just how mysterious a 20-something can get, it looks like her sophomore effort, The Altar, shows us sides of Banks that we've never seen or heard before.

She introduced the new record with the unapologetic "Fuck With Myself," a tune about a dying relationship that she just doesn't want to be a part of anymore. Then, there's "Gemini Feed," that opens with Banks sound like she's in an empty room and 15 feet away from the mic. This bassy dance track picks up the pace and is another reflection of her strength on the album, which you also hear on "This Is Not About Us." She does bare it all on "Mother Earth," which is probably the most stripped down we'll ever hear from her. She replaces electronic sound effects for strings — lots of them — and her voice shines through perfectly. You'll also get to hear Banks' in her natural state on "To The Hilt," a piano-driven ballad that's ideal to listen to in a dimly lit room with a glass of wine in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other.

Banks may have been averse to social media and mysterious in person, but just listen to this record and you'll get a sense of who this singer has grown up to be.

'Heaven Forget' - Belle Mare

Following their 2013 EP, The Boat of the Fragile Mind, Belle Mare are finally releasing their debut full-length, Heaven Forget. Recorded at the iconic Electric Lady studio in New York City with producer Ben Baptie, the band, composed of Amelia Bushell and Thomas Servidone, have crafted a decade of songs that express the delicate care and fine-tune precision they have when it comes to music.

From the strings of bells on their single, "Cicada," to ambient orchestration on "In the Fall," Belle Mare's music will cause you to float into a more peaceful place, and you'll be more than happy to do so. "Dark of My Evening" is a little bit psychedelic and a little bit Fleetwood Mac while "Rehearsed Lines" has a jazz hue to it. Then there's "Feel You Against My Heart," which sounds like your in the middle of a neon-lit, smoky dance club. Heaven Forget has a variety of sounds that will make Belle Mare refreshing and make you want to hear more.

'All Wet' - Mr. Oizo

Quentin Dupieux, better known as Mr. Oizo, has been serving up house and electronic tunes since the 90s. And now he's back again with his sixth album, All Wet. Aside from being full of energy, Oizo teams up with a bunch of great artists who add their own flair to the tracks.

Charli XCX gives "Hand in the Fire" a sultry flair while Peaches is taking no prisoners on "Freezing Out." Phra tosses out the English on "No Tony," and Skrillex helps Mr. Oizo shows how bad society has gotten through sound with "End of the World." Each of the tunes have their own different nuances on tempos and sound sequences. But perhaps the most fun to listen to are "Your Liver" and the clap-happy "Low Ink." Mr. Oizo clearly has a winner on his hands. So if you're a fan of electronic or house music, All Wet is the perfect addition to your collection.
