Let There Be Music (CD)

Bonny Doon

Bonny Doon's latest musical journey is one that has big payoffs for devoted followers and undeniable rewards for anyone just discovering them. Let There Be Music presents the band at their most dynamic and the songwriting deftly explores new terrain. Indelible guitar lines lay the solid foundation while the lyrics reach skyward with philosophical truths - both profound and mundane, comforting and difficult.

Closer (CD)

Maria Chiara Argiro

Maria Chiara Argiro's Closer is pure leftfield pop bliss. The London-via-Rome singer, pianist, composer & producer wrote the album to evoke the dreamlike feeling she experienced in the time leaning up to its creation — and that's exactly what it feels like. Argiro is a familiar force in the UK jazz, electronic, and classical scenes and while these lovely tracks have pop bones, they're dressed up with hypnotic electronic beats, jazz trumpet, and gauzy synths. Closer is a refreshing listen, the type of album that just hits a little deeper and makes you glad to be alive.

Boeckner! (CD)

Boeckner

Filled with lively, catchy rock that calls to mind The Cars and David Bowie, Boeckner's solo debut is the culmination of his deep library of musical influence and his quest for self-realization. In Boeckner's hands, the journey of working through the grit and gravel that accumulates in the heart involves post-apocalyptic synth and guitar heroism. Throughout his work with Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, and other bands, the Canadian indie rocker recognizes that few feelings are more gratifying than hope. But it takes getting the hell out of your own way.

Lisa Frankenstein [Collector's Edition] (BLU)

Zelda Williams

A coming of rage love story from acclaimed writer Diablo Cody and director Zelda Williams about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse. After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness... and a few missing body parts along the way.

Ballad Of The Brothers (CD)

The Bacon Brothers

The Bacon Brothers' new album is a rollicking good time. More than just a celebrity band, actor Kevin and Emmy-winning composer Michael clearly know their musical history. Ballad of the Brothers blends old time folk, retro soul, alt-rock, and country into a travelogue through the past and present of American music. A rootsy, spirited, thoroughly enjoyable good time, Ballad of the Brothers showcases the Bacon Brothers' ability to tell a good tale and write a toe-tappin' tune.

Glovemaker (CD)

Loren Kramar

Loren Kramar's Glovemaker is the type of bigger-than-life, character-driven album that feels like it came from a bygone era. Kramar sings of love, longing, and fame and the intersection of the three, infusing his songs with classic R&B, soul, and lounge sounds. He paints worlds filled with huge emotions, deep desires, and a fair share of humor. As an artist, he calls to mind figures like Serge Gainsbourg, Scott Walker, and Lana Del Rey: sultry, kooky, gleefully teetering on the verge. Glovemaker is your ideal soundtrack for driving to the Polo Lounge with perfect hair, a studio deal, and an Eve Babitz paperback.

Hello, I'm Britti. (CD)

Britti

Britti's triumphant debut, co-written and produced by Dan Auerbach, is inspired by musical luminaries from Diana Ross to Dolly Parton, and influenced by contemporary legends like Beyoncé and Sade. The album is a personal love letter to her native New Orleans that reflects her diverse musical influences, including R&B, blues, Zydeco, Motown, and even some glittery country. The emotional and stylistic scope of the songs is far-reaching, but her unique voice works as a through line, holding them together.

Only God Was Above Us (CD)

Vampire Weekend

Only God Was Above Us is the poignant, urgent new album from Vampire Weekend. With a name taken from a 1988 news article about a terrifying in-air airplane incident, it's perhaps no surprise that the songs seem to share that same sense of faith in the midst of catastrophe. "Capricorn" careens between grinding electronic noise, sweeping strings, and intimate indie guitar. "Gen-X Cops" starts off with the intensity of a high-speed car chase before shimmering, slightly melancholic harmonies kick in. Only God Was Above Us is some of Vampire Weekend's best work; fans will dig this expansion in the band's sound.

Bewitched: The Goddess Edition (CD)

Laufey

Transform your existence into a more glamorous, romantic, and retro one with Laufey's Bewitched: The Goddess Edition . The Icelandic artist creates dreamy vocal jazz that sounds like it could've come straight out of the Golden Age of Hollywood, or from the songbook of legends like Sarah Vaughan or Ella Fitzgerald. The songs move from sweeping and grand to intimate and vulnerable, with a dash of bossa nova and classical mixed into her throwback jazz sound. While Bewitched was a 2023 GRAMMY winner, The Goddess Edition features four stellar new tracks, including the titular single, "Goddess." Turn down the lights, put on something pastel, and enter Laufey's marvelous, magical world.

$10 Cowboy (CD)

Charley Crockett

Need an antidote to overly polished, corporate country? Charley Crockett is your man. The Texan singer and guitarist delivers an updated blend of Americana and country that sounds as classic as the legendary artists of the '50s and '60s...albeit with a bit more blues, rock, and R&B in the mix. $10 Cowboy builds on Crockett's excellent earlier albums; the songwriting is evocative and transportive, the atmosphere as electrifying and intriguing as a midnight drive on a lonely highway. Crockett is the real deal and $10 Cowboy is a must-hear.

Drive-Away Dolls (BLU)

Ethan Coen

Written by Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke, this comedy caper follows Jamie, an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian who desperately needs to loosen up. In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way. 

Bright Future (CD)

Adrianne Lenker

Adrianne Lenker's Bright Future is a testament to growth, resilience, and the transmutation of emotions. That's transmutation in both the musical and the emotional sense: the second track is titled "Sadness as a Gift," if you needed a case in point. There's a tears-in-your-eyes clarity to the heartbreak detailed in these songs with their keening strings, tender guitars, and Lenker's sweetly bitter vocals. Bright Future is an album that finds meaning in the temporality of both pain and pleasure. An album that feels like a companion for the days you're looking for something or someone to hold onto.
