Every BC Camplight album has a backstory every bit as compelling as its music. A Sober Conversation is no different, as virtuoso songwriter and pianist Brian Christinzio documents the last two years of his life, finally confronting a shocking childhood trauma while embracing sobriety, to create his bravest and most revealing record. It's an enthralling, sometimes haunting quasi-concept record marked by ruthless tragic-comedic purging and sublime, intricate melody, knitting lyrical screenplays to dazzling arrangements. It is BC Camplight at the height of his remarkable powers.

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.

Suggesting some of the more off-kilter, orchestrated indie pop of projects like tUnE-yArDs and Dirty Projectors, Sophia Kennedy's songs often exhibit a theatrical quality, seeming to bridge Tin Pan Alley, off-Broadway musical theater, and observational singing/songwriting in varied arrangements that can include orchestral instruments and electronics.

This bedroom is making my eyes hurt just looking at it… I have been wanting to get into beach bunny for an ungodly amount of time, and I never got a chance to listen to an entire album of theirs. I've heard a lot of their big singles over the years, and I've enjoyed them quite a bit! I really like their very smooth and fun brand of indie pop and rock with some pretty strong choruses on some tracks, giving some strong power pop vibes a lot of the time. So given all that, I was curious to see what this album would be like, and to be honest, it's alright! It's nothing mind-blowing, and I definitely think there are many more artists pulling off this indie sound much better and with more personality, but regardless, it's still a fun time all around.

Sunflower Bean’s fourth album, and follow-up to their self-produced EP ‘Shake’, is their most accomplished work yet.

A record that bursts with vitality and vulnerability it both celebrates their history whilst hurtling towards their future. Mixed by Caesar Edmunds (The Killers, St Vincent) & engineered by Sarah Tudzin (Illuminati Hotties, boygenius).
