Warpaint bassist Jenny Lee Lindberg shares her debut solo album under the moniker jennylee. KEXP Music Director Don Yates notes the release "brings a bit more of a rhythmic emphasis to her regular band’s brooding, goth-tinged dream-pop, while still sharing a dark sound with atmospheric guitars and keyboards along with hypnotic rhythms." Former Vivian Girls frontwoman Cassie Ramone tackles from Christmas classics on her holiday covers album. Cass McCombs shares a collection of rarities and B-sides spanning from 2003 to 2014, including five previously unreleased songs.
Local label Light in the Attic reissues three of the MGM-era albums by the legendary Lee Hazlewood in remastered and expanded editions.

Spoon celebrate the 10th anniversary of Gimme Fiction with a remastered version of the record, with 12 previously unreleased demos and nine bonus tracks, and a full-color book featuring photos and an oral history of the record.
