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.

Janelle Monáe is back with a new belligerent single, “Turntables,” for a new documentary All In: The Fight For Democracy. The song is a call to action in the fight for voting rights for the upcoming 2020 election. 

“Turntables” is her first original material since 2018’s Dirty Computer—besides last year’s Lady and the Tramp cover—recorded for the documentary which reckons with activism from the past and the present, and it streams exclusively on Prime Video starting Friday, September 18. 

You can purchase/stream “Turntables” here, and listen to it on YouTube below.
