Music
Vivid Bloom: “Believe”
A kind of trashcan distortion like you hear on the best Sonic Youth.
Canyons and Locusts: “To Art Bell”
No, the Art Bell in question is not Arthur Clive Heward Bell.
Anna Bolin: “Disaster | First Responder”
Daniel Knox is a cantankerous pop artist to tackle. Is Anna Bolin up for the task?
Thandi Ntuli with Carlos Niño: “Nomayoyo”
South Africa’s jazz piano chanteuse comes stateside.
ANOHNI and the Johnsons: “Why Am I Alive Now?”
Hard to explain, but this track hits like Jimmy Scott.
Jiddo: “PTSD”
They Can’t Keep Getting Away With This is the name of the record. Getting away with what?
MOLD!: “LONELY SHADOWS!”
A hard-charging sound sprinkled with sunnier, psychedelic accents.
Eddy Dyer: “The Sun Has Wept Rose”
There’s a black cat on the album cover. This is the spooky song to go with it.
Butcher Brown: “I Can Say To You”
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the legacy of Stevie Wonder.
Gut Health: “Runaway High”
The post-hardcore band gets super specific about neurological disorders
