Release Radar – August 4th, 2023

It is a very busy weekend, both for new releases and for me personally as I am continuing to shop for wedding venues. I already missed my regular deadline yesterday as I had to rush to make it to a surprisingly early start time for a concert. So, I will avoid blurbing everything and just give you the rundown.
