Spell 31 (CD)
Ibeyi
Ibeyi’s Spell 31 is vibrant, urgent, and (yes) spellbinding. The French Afro-Cuban twin singers Lisa-Kainde and Naomi Diaz possess lovely, dexterous voices that seamlessly shift from otherworldly highs to earthbound lows. The music itself pulls from such a vast array of influences that it feels like the duo has crafted a genre all their own: futuristic, globally-influenced, percussion-driven, experimental soul. This is a gorgeous, powerful release that you need to hear for yourself so you can understand why artists like Beyonce, Angelique Kidjo, and Erykah Badu count themselves as fans.
All Of Us Flames (CD)
Ezra Furman
On All of Us Flames , singer-songwriter Ezra Furman unpacks her own experience with religion, gender, and life in a voice reminiscent of Television’s Tom Verlaine, her passion and storytelling creating a sincere intimacy with the listener. Whether it’s finding a connection with an ‘80s film star (“Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club”) or a rousing anthem to her trans community (“Lilac And Black”), Furman cements her heart to her sleeve and blazes ahead.
Milk Teeth (CD)
Suki Waterhouse
Sub Pop has released early career works from British actress, model, and singer Suki Waterhouse. The Milk Teeth EP is a collection of songs Waterhouse has called “witness to a time when I felt like I was drowning and I needed to connect on a profound level in order to stay afloat.” That explains the driving sense of desperation and desire underlying these tracks. A little grittier and more urgent than her most recent music, the tracks on Milk Teeth nonetheless still possess Waterhouse’s indelible songwriting sense—just with a little bit more shadow to accentuate the light.
UK GRIM (CD)
Sleaford Mods
Sleaford Mods return with another confrontational banger, the aptly named UK GRIM . The post-punk duo provides the perfect soundtrack for an era of cultural malaise, political turmoil, and an unrelenting tide of grim events. They sound as abrasive as ever, both in their propulsive riffs and tell-it-like-it-really-REALLY-is lyrics, this time incorporating some stripped-down electronic beats to the punk rock proceedings. These are strange, disquieting times we’re living in, and Sleaford Mods don’t blink. UK GRIM is no ode to easy living, yet this tough, truth-telling album is easy to love.

Memorial (CD)
THUS LOVE
Without the benefits (or confines, depending on your view) of a major music scene in their small Vermont hometown of Brattleboro, Thus Love DIY’d everything and paved their own road to an exceptional debut album, Memorial . They have embraced the past with a sound that would fit right in with the post-punk era ‘80s, yet maintains a light, joyous modern vibe throughout. The tone that lead singles “Inamorato” and “In Tandem” set for this album is solid and marks a dynamic first outing for the trio.
Dust (CD)
The Dead Tongues
Dust is a strong set of sweepingly atmospheric Americana. There are moody, romantic chords, gently gritty vocals, and lilting odes to the smaller details in everyday life. Highlights include the lovely “Garden Song” and the slow-building title track.
Mil Coisas Invisiveis (CD)
Tim Bernardes
On Mil Coisas Invisíveis , or A Thousand Invisible Things , Brazilian singer-songwriter Tim Bernardes channels the easy, spirited sound of vintage Tropicália into his modern-day folk. An intimately personal expression, Bernardes shines as he bares his soul on pieces like “Nascer, Viver, Morrer” and “Misitficar.”
No Roof No Floor (CD)
Scout Gillett
The folksy dream pop of Scout Gillett’s debut album No Roof No Floor weaves a moody, colorful web. From light and airy to strong and soaring, Gillett’s voice is the star of the show, and incorporating elements like saxophone and pedal steel guitar to the mix expands her sound into new and interesting spaces.

Everything Harmony (CD)
The Lemon Twigs
Blast-from-the-past brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario return with another exceptionally well-crafted Lemon Twigs album, Everything Harmony . As the band gleefully reconstructs and experiments with throwback genres and pays tribute to musical legends, it's clear that they know their rock history. But what makes The Lemon Twigs' music so powerful isn't just their good taste and passion for the music; it's their ability to inject novelty, curiosity, and real emotion into the mix, whether they're singing a Simon & Garfunkel-style ballad or giving a nod to Big Star. It's no surprise that the brothers cite Moondog and Arthur Russell as influences on this one—although The Lemon Twigs may not yet have a storied history like those seminal underground artists but the D'Addarios share their fervor for experimentation, art, and just straight-up quality songwriting.
Okemah Rising (CD)
Dropkick Murphys
It’s an artistic fusion that just makes perfect sense: once again Dropkick Murphys have created songs from legendary man-of-the-people Woody Guthrie’s unused lyrics. With tracks about joining the union and putting Nazis on the run, Okemah Rising feels timely as hell, an electrifying, urgent call to arms. Featuring guest appearances from Violent Femmes, Jesse Ahern, Jaime Wyatt, and Guthrie’s grandson Cole Quest, the album was produced by Guthrie’s daughter Nora Guthrie. Okemah Rising is powerful, smart, and a rollicking good time.
Now (CD)
Graham Nash
Graham Nash has called his latest, Now , his most personal album. Produced with his regular touring keyboardist Todd Caldwell, the album feels tender, intimate, and thoughtful. Even when Nash gets political on the album, he does so in a way that's plainspoken, reflective, and clear-eyed. Now is an appropriate title for the legend's first album in seven years; the songs are topical and intelligent, with a positive vision for the future despite all the turmoil of today.
Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent (CD)
Lewis Capaldi
Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi explores love and loss on his sophomore album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent . On "How I'm Feeling Now," he tackles self-doubt and dissatisfaction through melancholic (yet catchy) choruses sung over plaintive strings. On the moving piano ballad "I Wish You the Best," he moves through the regrets of a relationship that didn't work out to find the deep, lasting love that underlies his current pain. Broken is relatable, heartfelt, and straightforward, just the kind of album you need for rainy days and lovelorn nights.
