Bon Iver, SABLE,

The threadbare arrangements and starkly poetic sense of woe and wonder found on Justin Vernon’s new EP fit his back catalog like a wooly, moth-eaten sweater.

Jordana, Lively Premonition

Refitting the yacht rock and Laurel Canyon sounds of the ’70s and ’90s country for the modern bedroom-pop era, the songwriter’s willingness to experiment keeps her fourth LP interesting.

Porridge Radio, Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There for Me

Largely inspired by vocalist Dana Margolin’s dreams, the Brighton band’s fourth album is a darkly poetic reclaiming of self that softens their prior output’s jagged edges.

Portishead will perform their first show in seven years next month for a War Child Benefit show to fund relief efforts in Ukraine. The concert, which takes place on May 2 at O2 Academy Bristol, will also feature sets from IDLES, Katy J Pearson, Billy Nomates, Heavy Lungs, Wilderman, and Willie J Healey.

Tickets to the event will be distributed via lottery. "To be in with a chance to win tickets, for each £10 donated you will receive three separate entries into the prize draw, alternatively you can enter the draw for free," the website reads. All proceeds go to War Child UK, and you can enter as many times as you like for a chance to acquire tickets. There will be 600 lottery winners who will receive two tickets to the concert. The chance to enter begins today and closes at midnight local time on April 24. All entrants will gain access to the concert's livestream.
