July ??:
While posting a video for Neon Bunny‘s 나와둘이, Doggyrich announced that the second full length album from The Black Skirts will be released in July.

The first full length album from Linus’ Blanket is expected to be released some time in July. Containing both new and old songs, the sound is jazzier than what we’ve heard from them before. If you haven’t already done so, check out the music video for Show Me Love here.

It seems like maybe, maybe that Big Baby Driver album will be ready for release this month as well.
