Sinai Vessel, I Sing

Caleb Cordes provides a thoughtfully nuanced thesis statement for his heartland indie-rock project as he paints a portrait of an artist working under the long shadow of late capitalism.

BLK ODYSSY, 1-800-FANTASY

On his third showcase of vivid storytelling under the moniker, Juwan Elcock adds early 2000s pop-rock to his pre-established melting pot of R&B, hip-hop, funk, and jazz.

Wand, Vertigo

The Cali psych-rockers offer tangible connections between their early, blazing garage bashers and later forays into more progressive terrain with their adventurously cohesive sixth LP.

Last month, Ric Wilson, Chromeo, and A-Trak teamed up on the single "Pay It No Mind." But it turns out that's not the last we'll be hearing from the super trio—today they've announced their debut collaborative project CLUSTERFUNK, which is out March 31, and shared a video for the newly unveiled title track. The EP promises features from King Louie, Felicia Douglass of Dirty Projectors, STIC.MAN of Dead Prez, and Kiéla Adira, as well as a passage read from activist Mariame Kaba.

Wilson invites us to join the colorful chaos. "Come on down and just move with me," he beckons in satiny tones. The beat is simple with subdued bleeps and synths emphasizing Wilson's stealthy raps and the seductive chorus: "Welcome to the clusterfunk / Ups and downs but all is fun / Anyone can be someone / Grooving 'til this life is done."
