Neil Young, Coastal: The Soundtrack

Documenting his 2023 tour, Young’s umpteenth live album both simplifies the noise of Crazy Horse’s recent recordings and solidly renders familiar hits in a solo setting.

Adrian Younge, Something About April III

The third and final installment of his vintage psych-soul trilogy sees the songwriter bring the large history of Brazil into a tight narrative revolving around young love and class struggle.

Julien Baker & TORRES, Send a Prayer My Way

Baker and Mackenzie Scott’s debut pop-country collaboration is made up of a nuanced and emotionally kinetic set of hangdog story-songs that wear their nudie suits with pride.

Calling your music festival “Treasure Island” after it’s been exported from the titular Bay Area island is kinda like continuing to call Minnesota’s National Basketball League team “the Lakers” after they’d relocated to Los Angeles—it works if no one thinks about it too hard.

The newly relocated Oakland festival returned this past weekend after last year’s hiatus, bringing Tame Impala, A$AP Rocky, Courtney Barnett, Pusha T, and many more to West Oakland’s Middle Harbor Shoreline Park. With the San Francisco skyline still reflected in the nearby bay behind each stage, the festival maintained its offshore theme.
