New Music Friday: The best albums out Sept. 13

Published: Sept. 13, 2024, 10:54 a.m.

NPR Music's Ann Powers and Hazel Cills are your guides to the best music out this Friday, Sept. 13, including the 10th studio album by Miranda Lambert. Postcards From Texas is a new chapter for the onetime Nashville Star contestant who has become one of that industry town's most reliable songwriters and stars \u2014 and also a return to her home state.

There's more, including a album by Robyn Hitchcock made up mostly of covers of songs from 1967, a year he describes as "a portal between childhood and the adult world." Plus: three ambitious albums by indie faves stretching their sounds, and a consideration of the way the classic "outlaw" label applies to the careers of women who break the rules.

Featured albums:
\u2022 Miranda Lambert, Postcards from Texas
\u2022 Nil\xfcfer Yanya, My Method Actor
\u2022 Foxing, Foxing
\u2022 Robyn Hitchcock, 1967: Vacations in the Past
\u2022 My Brightest Diamond, Fight the Real Terror
