deary, Birding

Sounding like a band well into their second decade of existence, the London-based dream-pop trio stretch each song on their debut without ever letting them overstay their welcome.

Flea, Honora

While the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist’s collaboration-heavy foray into jazz occasionally errs on the side of pensive, it’s never anything less than heartfelt.

Robyn, Sexistential

The Stockholm-based electropop auteur’s ode to motherhood falls right in line with her always-mature, somewhat-confrontational manner of making desire-driven dance pop.

Seattle’s Bumbershoot Arts & Music Festival has announced its 2026 lineup, set for the Seattle Center on Labor Day Weekend, September 5 and 6. Death Cab for Cutie, Japanese Breakfast, Blood Orange, and Turnstile have been revealed as this year’s headliners, while other artists scheduled to perform include Bikini Kill, Sudan Archives, Orville Peck, De La Soul, Yves Tumor, Molchat Doma, TOKiMONSTA, Die Spitz, and Noname, who will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of her Telefone mixtape.
