Hitting 90 degrees in San Francisco is a rarity, but that's exactly what happened this week. Thankfully, a lot of the week's new music did a good job of cooling us down. New albums from Ray LaMontagne and Damon Albarn, stunning new tunes from Open Mike Eagle and Chance the Rapper ("cold pizza and hot Srirachaaaaaa..."), and plenty of other icy goodness on deck for you, people. Stay frosty. (Though we apologize for heating things up at the end with the dancehall remix of "Turn Down For What" and a fantastic tUnE-yArDs song.)
As usual, we’ve added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone YouTube playlist for this week. Keep the recommendations coming.

Ray LaMontagne, "Airwaves"
Jamie xx, "Girl"
Damon Albarn, "Heavy Seas of Love"
