Stream of the Crop: 5 New Albums for Heavy Rotation 7/28

Everything Now features two songs with underscores in their titles. One of them is the album's opening track, "Everything_Now (Continued)," which you may notice is incongruous, because "(Continued)" is usually a parenthetical signifier of a continuation, rather than an introduction. You may be further confused by the album's closing track, "Everything Now (continued)," which has a very similar title to the first song on the album, but is not quite the same, because, you may notice, there is no underscore between "Everything" and "Now" (though the "(continued)" remains intact). The other song with an underscore is called "Infinite_Content," which comes directly after the song called "Infinite Content."
