This week on New Hot, we'll look at three albums widely considered to be among the most critically and commercially successful albums of the year so far.

Treetop Flyers - Things Will Change, from the new album "The Mountain Moves."

On 'Desire Lines,' Camera Obscura have delivered a well-produced, well-sequenced blend of pop songs intertwined with subtle heartstring-pullers.

James Chapman's charming songs sound fizzy and bright throughout Vicissitude, Maps' third album, but they also convey his thoughtful reflections on transition and doubt.

The Avett Brothers stopped by The Current studios before their show at the Somerset Amphitheater to chat with host Bill DeVille about their upcoming album. They gave us a sneak peak with a performance of the new single "Part From Me," and played a couple old tracks, too.

Noelle and Michael of Fitz and The Tantrums stopped by The Current studios to chat with Mary Lucia and shared some of their favorite tracks including songs from old label mates, an up-and-coming sister trio, and their go-to track for dancing.

Singer songwriter Vicky Emerson performs songs from "Dust and Echoes" on Radio Heartland.

Independent, electronic pop-rock band Metric headlined Rock The Garden 2013 and played an explosive set full of hits including "Youth Without Youth", the first single from their 2012 album Synthetica and second song in their RTG set.

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros stopped by The Current studios to chat with Barb Abney and shared some of their favorite tracks including a band that started the distorted guitar sound, a soul singer of the past who spills heart and guts into his vocals, and a band that isn't afraid to do song scene changes.

As the sun was setting at Rock the Garden 2013, Southern California alternative rock band Silversun Pickups performed "Dots and Dashes" from their latest album Neck of the Woods and won over both new and old fans with their explosive set.
