Music blog lists new albums this week

m_musicblog used an X post on September 2 to point readers to a crowded Friday release slate led by PRESIDENT’s “Blood Of Your Empire” and including Matilda Mann’s “Kismet,” Ellie Goulding’s “I Know Too Much” and Kasabian’s “ACT III.” The post also named albums by Movements, Krewella, Angus & Julia Stone, Noah Hill and Medium Build, framing them as the week’s main drops. (en.wikipedia.org) The list arrived two days before September 4, the date attached to several of the albums on artist stores and release pages. (storeus.presidentband.com) ### Which releases in the post can be verified ahead of Friday? PRESIDENT’s official website says “Blood Of Your Empire” is coming on September 4, 2026, and the band’s U.S. store lists it as a 10-track album available for pre-sale. (movementsofficial.bandcamp.com) The store page says the record includes “Angel Wings,” “DOOM LOOP,” “dark heaven,” “Mercy” and a feature from Ando San on “Hate Figure.” Matilda Mann’s official site says “Kismet” is out September 4, while earlier coverage of the announcement said the album would be Mann’s sophomore full-length. Release pages list it as an 11-track record following her debut “Roxwell.” (en.wikipedia.org) Ellie Goulding’s official store describes “I Know Too Much” as her sixth studio album and says the 10-track set includes the single “Black Prada Dress.” Separate coverage from June said the album was scheduled for September 4. ### Why does PRESIDENT appear at the top of the list? PRESIDENT’s album has been positioned as a debut full-length rather than another single drop. (storeus.presidentband.com) The band’s official site and store both put “Blood Of Your Empire” at the center of the current campaign, with pre-orders live and the release date fixed at September 4. (matildamann.com) The U.S. store lists multiple physical editions, including a signed black LP at $27.98 and a “blood-filled” exclusive priced at $124.00. Those listings give the album a larger retail footprint than a simple streaming release notice. (shop.elliegoulding.com) ### What else on the roundup points to a broader Friday stack? Kasabian’s “ACT III” is listed for September 4 on release pages tied to the band’s archive and other music platforms. The album had previously been delayed from July 17, according to the archive page. Movements’ Bandcamp page says “Happier Now” will be released on September 4 and identifies it as the Southern California band’s fourth album. (storeus.presidentband.com) Angus & Julia Stone’s official site and store also say “Karaoke Bar” is out September 4. Krewella’s “Peak” was included in the social post, and third-party music coverage published in late August said the duo’s fourth studio album was due on September 4. (storeus.presidentband.com) Krewella’s main website surfaced tour dates but did not provide a readily visible album detail in search results reviewed for this article. (kasabianarchive.co.uk) ### What does the timing tell readers who follow release-week chatter? September 2 is close enough to Friday for roundup posts to function as release-week guides rather than announcement news. In this case, the X post gathered projects from pop, rock, metal, folk and electronic acts that were already in pre-order or pre-save mode on artist channels. (movementsofficial.bandcamp.com) The post’s value is in aggregation. Readers could verify several of the named records through artist stores, official sites and release pages without waiting for Friday streaming links to go live. (edmtunes.com) ### What should readers watch next? September 4, 2026, is the next concrete milestone for the albums named in the post. Official pages for PRESIDENT, Matilda Mann, Ellie Goulding, Movements and Angus & Julia Stone all point readers to pre-order, pre-save or store pages tied to that Friday release date.
