A good day for fans, but a bad day for artists; Beach House’s Depression Cherry and Destroyer’s LP Poison Season were leaked last week, according to Gawker. Both albums were set to be released on August 28th.
Both bands had previously (and legally) released singles from their upcoming records: Beach House revealed “Sparks” earlier this month, while Destroyer put out “Dream Lover” in May.
Depression Cherry and Poison Season were not the only prematurely released albums last week – Mac Demarco’s Another One appeared online the same day, almost exactly one month before its set release date. According to Gawker, all three albums had “leaked in 320 kbps – a high-quality bitrate.”
