There are a lot of new releases to pay attention to for this new music Friday on In The Groove, starting with King Princess’ straight-ahead but still lovely cover of “Dirty Work” by Steely Dan.

IAN SWEET checks in with a cover of Broken Social Scene’s “Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl.” Then we have major releases from Kamasi Washington featuring George Clinton, who gets a mini-mixtape of his wonderful cameos and features over the years on this episode.

La Luz, Hiatus Kaiyote, Ashley Henry, Sara Marie Barron and Tammy Lakkis bring us home. Plus, a lot of love for Detroit legend Jon Dixox.

See the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the media player above.
