Over the past decade, Greta Kline has expanded her solo musical alter ego Frankie Cosmos to a full band and, with her sixth album, developed a style and sound that retains the intimate bedroom-pop quality of her beginnings but is also fuller, richer, bigger. While Kline is the chief songwriter on Different Talking, it's a group effort—to the point that there are no external producers. Bassist Alex Bailey, drummer Hugo Stanley and keyboardist Katie Von Schleicher understand Kline's mission and don't push the songs to be something they're inherently not.

'Aperture' is the affirming result of that realization and letting in the light. The six members took the lessons they learned into studios in their hometowns Seattle, WA and Richmond, VA; patiently shaping and self-producing an album. More than any other record by The Head And The Heart, 'Aperture' feels like the collaborative work of a real band. With every song fortified by the sense of beginning again, 'Aperture' is The Head And The Heart's most vital and poignant album.

'In Light' delves deeper into Cunningham's personal and creative consciousness than ever before. Known for his indie-folk-inspired singer-songwriter music that envelops emotions and moods in intimate, breathtakingly beautiful soundscapes, Cunningham has built a massive following over the years, amassing more than half a billion streams. With 'In Light', he wanted to push boundaries. Inspired - and unsettled - by the rapid development of artificial intelligence, he sought to capture the essence of raw human creativity. The result is a collection of ten tracks, recorded over five weeks in Tottenham, North London. These songs-captured as single takes with minimal editing-immerse the listener in a profound stream of consciousness. Cunningham explores personal truths and reflects on the world's complexities, from the unsettling grip of big data to the hope that genuine human connection still offers. As he sings in 'This I Know', "The best is yet to be / I believe." The album's title, 'In Light', reflects Cunningham's optimism, shining through even in darker moments. "We're here right now / Let's be here again tomorrow," he urges in New Symmetry, concluding with the poignant affirmation, "I am leaving a light on."

Our hearts are broken for everyone affected by the fires in California. We’ve put together some of our favorite unreleased songs into an EP called Passional Relations, only available on our webstore, and all proceeds will go toward providing relief for those impacted by the fires in Los Angeles. The majority of the proceeds will be donated to the PLUS1LA Fires Fund, which directly supports organizations working on the ground to address critical needs like housing, education, animal welfare, and more. And the rest will go directly to local musicians, artists and community members who need extra support during this time. Our hope is that these contributions will not only help address the crucial and immediate needs of affected communities but also help sustain the work, identity, and culture of the artists within them.

Swedish songwriter Alice Boman has been thinking about space a lot lately. The silence between sounds, the unspoken bonds between humans, the enormity of the universe and her place within it. You can follow these mini epiphanies on her stunning new album, The Space Between.

A few years ago, Angel Olsen quietly formed somethingscosmic, a new imprint and a home for Olsen to have “the flexibility to release when and how I want to with the help from my longtime partners at Jagjaguwar.” Somethingscosmic’s second release, ‘Cosmic Waves Volume 1’ is a compilation reimagined as a dialogue; side A features artists chosen by Olsen, with each artist choosing their own song for the collection. Side B is a collection of songs from the same artists, but chosen by Olsen and recorded by her. Each song, unsurprisingly, illuminates a new artist Olsen finds spectacular. Hearing Olsen refract the artists’ songs back to them reveals the depth of Olsen’s imagination, while spotlighting multiple exciting artists at work.

In 2002, Regina Spektor was in the midst of a creative explosion. She found herself writing so many songs that she was unable to keep track of them. Her friend Joe Mendelson noticed she was forgetting some entirely, and offered to archive everything she had written that year. After Regina recorded dozens of songs, one take each, they decided to pick twelve and make them into an album. And so, Songs was born. The record includes the original versions of “Samson” and “Ne Me Quitte Pas”, later re-recorded on Begin to Hope and What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, respectively.

Allegra Krieger’s Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine, her second full-length album with Double Double Whammy, is a collection of 12 songs that pick at the fragile membrane between life and death. Krieger’s previous album, I Keep My Feet on the Fragile Plane, hewed more closely to the domestic spaces of city and mind.

Mighty Oaks are back with a new album and a fast-selling tour after nearly two years apart. After writing, recording, and touring extensively for the last 10 years - racking up radio and chart success while playing shows and festivals from Seattle to Budapest, and from Træna to Milan - Mighty Oaks members Ian Hooper (USA/Ireland), Claudio Donzelli (Italy), and Craig Saunders (UK) decided it was time to take a break from the band, and from each other.

Last year’s Big Time brought Angel Olsen to a deeper, truer sense of self than ever before. Borne from the twin stars of grief and love, the album delivered beautiful sense of certainty, the sure-footed sound of an artist fully, finally at home with herself. But within that wisdom comes the realisation that there is no finish line, no destination or static end point to life while you’re living it, and Forever Means collects songs from the Big Time sessions that hold this common theme. They are, in Olsen’s words, “in search of something else.”

Eggy, the New Haven, CT rock quartet known for its improv-focused live shows, has released its long-awaited sophomore album, Waiting Game. The ten-track LP, recorded with producer James Petralli (White Denim) in early 2023, marks the first full-length studio release from Eggy since 2019’s Watercolor Days.

Molly's debut full length album YOYOTTA is a deeply personal project that depicts the artist at her most vulnerable. It sees her step into the driver’s seat creatively for the first time in her career, taking control of not only the sonics of the project but the visuals as well. The result is a body of work that ties together past releases and provides new context to the artist’s life and emotions.
