A new week means new music. A bunch of quality releases are presently streaming online prior to their official release dates. At National Public Radio'<a href="http://www.npr.org/series/98679384/first-listen?ps=mh_fl">s First Listen page</a>, you can hear a new collection by the singer-songwriter Aimee Mann. Mann’s ninth album, <em>Charmer,</em> continues her fine form of marrying subdued pop with razor-sharp descriptions of decaying relationships. The album features a duet with The Shins frontman James Mercer in the tumultuous <em>Living a Lie</em>. Other new releases available on the NPR page is <em>Shields</em> by the New Yorkers Grizzly Bear and<em> I Bet on Sky</em> by the American indie-veterans Dinosaur Jr. All three albums will be officially released on Tuesday. Meanwhile, on the <a href="http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/1">AOL Music page</a>, you can hear up to 12 new releases. Standouts includes New York rapper DMX's comeback album <em>Undisputed</em>. While it's not a major development from his gritty sound, DMX's signature gruff delivery over funk-driven beats by J R Rotem (<em>I Don't Dance</em>) and Swizz Beats (<em>What they Don't Know</em>) makes Undisputed a welcome return. Also streaming is <em>Away from the World</em> by Dave Matthews Band. The five-piece soft rockers ditch the grandeur of their previous release, 2009’s <em>Big Whiskey and GrooGrux King</em> , for the simpler playing of early albums. Fans of their debut, 1994's<em> Under The Table and Dreaming</em> and their breakthrough <em>Crash</em> (2006) will find a lot to to enjoy here.
