Saint Etienne, The Night

Over 30 years after their debut, the Vaseline-lensed electro-pop trio still titillates without any consideration of boundaries as they continue their recent shift toward spectral-sounding gravitas.

Daft Punk, Discovery [Interstella 5555 Edition]

Reissued in honor of its complementary anime film’s 20th anniversary, the French house duo’s breakout LP feels like a time capsule for a brief period of pre-9/11 optimism.

The Coward Brothers, The Coward Brothers

Inspired by Christopher Guest’s recent radio play reviving Elvis Costello and T Bone Burnett’s 1985 fictional band, this playful debut album proves that this inside joke still has legs.

Telethons are back. Soccer Mommy, Shovels & Rope, John Oates, Rosanne Cash, and Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo and Louie Pérez are among the artists set for the People Supporting Artists Telethon, slated to broadcast live from Nashville on Saturday, April 11, at 4 p.m. PT. The telethon will raise money for the recently minted MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.

Viewers can expect a mix of lo-fi, live-from-home performances, as well as skits and personal stories about how MusiCares has been helpful. The show will be hosted by local Nashville radio personalities Eric Marcum (WSM Radio) and Annie Klaver (Lightning 100). See the full lineup below, and watch a trailer for the event here.
