Here’s a step-by-step.
1. Find a way to get the artist’s name. It’s stored as the post’s title. Great. We can grab it with the_title().
2. Find where the artist is declared in the ‘release’ CPT. It’s inside a custom field named album_artist. Custom fields are stored inside meta keys.
3. Construct a query with these values and spit out the results. You get:

<?php
$args = array(
  'numberposts'=> -1,           // Fetch all posts...
  'post_type'=> 'release',      // from the 'release' CPT...
  'meta_key' => 'album_artist', // which inside this meta key...
  'meta_value' => the_title()   // has this meta value.
);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) :
  echo '<ul>';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
?>

<li><?php the_field('album_title') ?></li>

<?php 
endwhile; echo '</ul>';
endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>

Hope that helped.
