Less acoustic and intimate than the first album Folly Tales, released in 2018 on Another Record (FR) et Outré (UK), Dance until the crimes end shifts towards a capricious, fanciful and sophisticated pop, sometimes coloured with psychedelic folk…

The Loyal Seas are Tanya Donelly and Brian Sullivan. For the last decade, trailblazing alternative rock figurehead Tanya Donelly - co-founder of Belly, Throwing Muses and The Breeders - has pursued meaningful collaborations with favorite artists and friends. The resulting work is by turns poignant, delightful and entirely surprising, melding folk, rock, pop and orchestral sounds…

Lana Del Rey is a femme fatale with a smoky voice, a languorous image, and a modeling contract. Not coincidentally, she didn't lack for attention leading up to the release of her Interscope debut, Born to Die…

Call Honeymoon the third installment in a trilogy if you will but there's no indication Lana Del Rey will put her doomed diva persona to rest after this album. Over the course of three albums, Lana Del Rey hasn't so much expanded her delicately sculpted persona as she has refined it, removing anything extraneous to her exquisite ennui. Honeymoon doesn't drift or float, it marks time, sometimes swelling with a suggestion of impending melodrama but often deflating to just an innervated pulse…

Lykke Li returns with her fifth studio album EYEYE. The album is an eight track story about lust, attraction, attachment, and rejection; the landscape of love. The songs are inhabited by moving images that neither start nor end. Each film functions as a visual loop, concise as a haiku, yet continuing in perpetuity. The result is a somatic, repetitious experience. Compounding chapters between a dream and reality.

A Bit of Previous is a classic Belle and Sebastian album preoccupied with songs and melodies that won’t leave your head and lyrics that can make you smile and ponder and sometimes be melancholic.

Toro y Moi’s seventh studio album, Mahal, is the boldest and most fascinating journey yet from musical mastermind Chaz Bear. The record spans genre and sound—encompassing the shaggy psychedelic rock of the 1960s and ‘70s, and the airy sounds of 1990s mod-post-rock—taking listeners on an auditory expedition, as if they’re riding in the back of Bear’s Filipino jeepney that adorns the album’s cover. But Mahal is also an unmistakably Toro y Moi experience, calling back to previous works while charting a new path forward in a way that only Bear can do.

Chelsea Jade's second album Soft Spot finds the Los Angeles-based New Zealand artist dwelling somewhere between feeling and expression, certainty and doubt. It ventures beyond the exploration of delusions of grandeur that formed the focus of the critically acclaimed Personal Best (2018), and simultaneously promotes and undermines romance, specifically, in a more solemn way. The record transports the listener from speaker-side at a club, to wandering a party, to sitting at an open window with a pianist nearby. It shifts effortlessly from expansive sold-out-show sound to ethereal, twinkling detail. The writing on Soft Spot outwits even its clever, resourceful production, the lyrics a testament to the multi award-winning songwriter's belief in the pop format as a venue for prose.

Let’s Eat Grandma, the duo composed of songwriters, multi-instrumentalists and vocalists Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth, release their third full-length album. Two Ribbons was co-produced by David Wrench and Let’s Eat Grandma. Standouts include the title track "Two Ribbons” which is a slow, melancholic moment of quiet that deviates from their almost industrial dancefloor fillers. The single contains reflections from Jenny on how the pair are still bound together through their compassion for each other, tight as ever, although slightly frayed and world-worn. “Hall Of Mirrors” is an ethereal, glistening pop song about a beautiful, intense moment remembered.

iane Coffee will release their new album With People, will drop on April 29, 2022 via Polyvinyl Record Co., today, they have shared lead single “Forecast (feat. Deep Sea Diver)” alongside a video directed by Vince Patrick and Melinda Fleming. Its recounting of a turbulent relationship—Diane Coffee architect Shaun Fleming says: “For almost 15 years I had this ‘on again, off again’ relationship. It was always very hot, very intense, and always ended very badly. But no matter how awful the ending, how bad we knew we were for each other, we somehow always found ourselves being pulled back into it. I think deep down we loved the chaos, the crazy. We were the definition of a ‘fatal attraction.’” With People, produced by Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood, The Killers).

Australian singer Harriette Pilbeam, aka frontwoman/alter ego of Hatchie, makes music that is often labeled dreamcore, but there's nothing sleepy about her second album. In fact, there's a decided kinetic energy—like Kylie Minogue shimmer meets mid-career Duran Duran—to the title track, with its mysterious synth, thrumming bass and, near the end, a kick-in of dancefloor joy…

‘Picnic in the Dark’ is the enchanting new album from Renata Zeiguer, her second full length release for Northern Spy. The album follows Zeiguer through a dreamworld of magical realism as she navigates her memories and seeks to confront inherited dysfunctional patterns head-on…

Five seconds flat, the 2022 album by Lizzy McAlpine, is available on standard black vinyl, CD and digital. A 2022 artist to watch, Lizzy has crafted a deeply intimate and beautiful album featuring GRAMMY Award winners FINNEAS and Jacob Collier.

Cannons create blissed-out dream pop that’s indebted both ’80s era synthwave, and Drive‘s cinematic, neon-soaked soundtrack, equally riveting as it is relaxing. Their recent success definitely comes as a surprise to the band, which is comprised of singer Michelle Joy and multi-instrumentalists Paul Davis and Ryan Clapham, but they’re mostly feeling blessed that they were allowed to quit their day jobs after signing with Columbia Records in 2020…

In March 2020, Tahiti 80 had a plan to start recording their new album in the studio. That plan, of course, along with everything else in the world, got derailed. But the five-piece group was resilient and resourceful. They quickly shifted to a socially distanced plan B that included file swapping and virtual sessions, all refereed by producer Julien Vignon. The result, due for release in March 2022, is the buoyant Here With You, a collection of eleven upbeat songs that unfold like a prescription for a post-pandemic panacea.
