At the top:

• The Avalanches – "Far Away" – Coming back to the top of the chart is the Australian trio The Avalanches (Robbie Chater, Tony Di Blasi and Andy Szekeres) with the fifth taste from their highly anticipated new album, No Bad Memories. They just announced the collab-filled tracklist of over 30 cuts, including many KCRW faves like Haruomi Hasono (more on him below),  Suzanne Ciani, Barry Can't Swim, Panda Bear, and more. The band mentions of the current single featuring John Glacier and Khadija Al Khanafi: "it captures that blissed out lysergic feeling of dusty evening light, soaking up music with friends as the light filters through the trees and feeling as if we're living in a shared dream.” And we are excited to announce that The Avalanches will be on Morning Becomes Eclectic this Friday for a special live DJ Set. Get notified and watch the wizardry on the decks to start your weekend. 
  
  
  

New & Notable:

• Lucy Dacus – "No Thank You, I Love You, Goodbye" [Single] – Debuting at #8, is the latest single from indie singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus, which we premiered on Morning Becomes Eclectic last week. It comes as part of her celebration of the 10th anniversary of her debut album, No Burden. Hopefully you caught Lucy headline the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend with Cat Power and KCRW host Raul Campos. Revisit their lovely pre-game chat together here. 
  
  
• Haruomi Hasono – Yours Sincerely  – Debuting at #12 and at 79 years old, is the 23rd solo album from Japanese pop architect Haruomi Hosono. A beautiful album that feels like a potential final release with it's name from the last surviving member of the pioneering Japanese pop ensemble Yellow Magic Orchestra, who have a lot of history with KCRW and we are proud to present his LA stop at the Greek Theatre this Sunday, September 20th, with support from Toro y Moi. And if you'd like to get to know more about Haruomi Hosono, check out Tana Yonas' tribute on her Sunday show last week. 
  
  
• MUNA – Dancing On the Wall – Last but not least, at #30 is the 4th studio album from local trio MUNA. Katie and Jo from the band came into MBE to share some selections on MBE with Novena Carmel as special guests ahead of their Gets So Hot tour which starts this week. Revisit and watch to hear selections of what they'll be jamming too on the tour bus, and a track to get the right zone in the green room before bringing it on stage.
