Dawn Richard’s creole culture is sunny, soulful, heartfelt, and beautifully produced, with strong vocals throughout. There’s nothing really wrong with it, but for an artist known for taking risks, it feels surprisingly safe. Lovely record, just a little too on the rails.

One of my absolute obsessions in my teens. And what do you freakin' know, this is a killer single. It's got a fantastic riff, it's seductive, it's dangerous, it's got that SWEATY energy. If this continues, this new album is gonna rule ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTU4...

New one out today from Fontaines D.C., new album is very close! This new one features Rosalia too! And it's actually a very graceful, elegant, dreamy ballad with a lot of heart. It's definitely out of the band's wheelhouse, but I like it a lot www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxS3...

Fat Dog’s Cancel Me (I’m Tired) is messy, lowbrow, campy, and ridiculously fun. The sweaty dance cuts hit, the weirdo southern ballads are a blast, and the energy is hard to resist. I still prefer Woof, but Fat Dog remain completely inescapable for me.

Wishy’s Nature’s Pill is pure feel-good indie rock. Nothing here is new, but the heart, hooks, and ’90s alt-rock charm are undeniable. From jangle pop to post-grunge, it’s sunny, carefree, and ridiculously catchy. Easily on par with their debut.

Leon Bridges’ Happiness Anytime is bright, funky, flirty, and way looser than his recent work. It’s still rooted in vintage R&B, but the grooves hit harder and the energy feels fresh. A little too squeaky clean, but easily one of his most fun releases in years.

Julia Jacklin's The Gem might be my favorite album of hers yet. The busier, more indie-rock-focused sound makes her gorgeous vocals and vivid lyrics pop like never before. Some of the folkier moments still lose me, but this is exactly where I wanted to hear her go.

New one from Fontaines DC! New album is most certainly on the way! They really pushed themselves here. I like the electronic beat and bulky this comes off. It's pretty hypnotic! I do wish it was a little more energetic and punky. But still, im intrigued www.youtube.com/results?sear...

New one from one of my faves, Wolves In The Throne Room. It's a beefy cut, one thats certainly nasty. The playing is solid, so is the vocals. All of that is fine. But honestly, I'm shocked by how muddy this production is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU7D...
