Vocalist Jessica Dobson, drummer Peter Mansen and their band just released their first album since 2020,
Billboard Heart. We featured the title track when it came out as a single a few months ago. We'll be playing lots more from the LP, starting with this track, which
Clash Music says is "full of punchy energy. Each member is given an opportunity to shine with swirling guitars in the middle section and synths also present. There is a lot going on but it never drowns in its ambition, finding the right level of chaos."
We've had this Houston-based indie artist in our mix for a half-dozen years, and picked up his singles "Violet" and "Kathryn" last year. His new album,
Coefficient of Fiction, marks a move from his earlier, guitar-based Americana style to what he calls "cinematic pop," with drum machines and synths in this mix - as on this slinky track.
This singer-songwriter's "Sailor Song" broke out in a big way last year, probably due mostly to its sexy lyrics. Its bedroom-demo sound didn't make it to our playlist, but we're giving this new single a shot - in its slightly edited but still suggestive form ("I'll never tell a soul about our secret life.")
This single comes with word that the Seattle group's sixth album,
Aperture, is on its way.
Consequence of Sound reports it's "the band’s first entirely self-produced album, and their first with a brand new songwriting style. Each band member brought something different to the process, trying out new roles and centering
Aperture as the work of a band, not just a songwriter and his instrumentalists." It says this track kicks off the album with "harmony-laden majesty and homespun folk."
This quartet from Memphis, Tenn., will release its debut LP this spring. Lead singer Cullen Moore says this preview single "is about someone you just can’t shake, no matter what you do. While the feeling can be more annoying than fun, we wanted to make the song both relatable and energetic."
