Music
On Her Own
Brooklyn’s Maneka stretches itself in a lot of different directions on its latest full-length Dark Matters.
All My Problems
Really Great crafts breezy pop punk that preoccupies itself with emo-inflected life problems.
A Face In Your Life
Boston’s Pet Fox operate all the levers and switches of postpunkery with finesse on their forthcoming A Face In Your Life.
High On Yourself
Shades of Alanis Morissette in Boston’s oldsoul. Stream “High On Yourself.”
Feel My Heart Beat
Boston’s House of Harm rides the #darkwave in their latest single “Feel My Heart Beat.”
Seventh String
Makaya McCraven crafts a smooth-as-butter mix of strings, flute, and jungle rhythms in “Seventh String.”
Orion’s Belt
Brooklyn’s Evolfo makes no bones about their cult of worship at the altar of psych rock.
Em Trancoso
Michigan’s John Beltran has been producing adventurous electronic joints for decades. In his recent 4-track EP Para Viajeros he brings a tropical flavor to house music.
Kim, People Are Dying
The Bay Area’s Beast Nest forges dense drone tracks that build in electronic intensity through accumulated layers of samples and gummy beats.
Solid Ghost
Minneapolis’ Har Mar Superstar begins his 2021 full-length Roseville on a confessional note in “Sold Ghost” designed to disarm the listener for what follows. So what follows?
Fleet Center
Boston’s Haasan Barclay is a beatmaker who constantly reinvents himself in DUAL SHOCK.
Folk Music Is Insane
In 2019 Hallelujah The Hills released I’m You to rave reviews. Listen to it again for the first time.
Wishing (You) Well
Milford’s Born Without Bones brings the lightning (and the thunder), but the angsty storytelling of the lyrics finds its true home in the halcyon moments before and after the storm.
