Drahla, Angeltape

Their sophomore album sees the Leeds-based trio overcoming grief over instrumental flourishes that recall yesteryear while artfully resisting the lure of entering a time machine.

Chanel Beads, Your Day Will Come

Shane Lavers captures the awe and unease of humanity’s impermanence on his debut album of dissociative dream pop.

Couch Slut, You Could Do It Tonight

Leaning into their lyrical strength of expressing life as we know it as a visceral horror story, the sludge-rockers’ fourth album is equally notable for its unexpected instrumental flourishes.

LA Phil is now six weeks into their SOUND/STAGE digital programming, and this week’s episode, launching tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. PST, will feature music from jazz saxophonist and Dinner Party attendee Kamasi Washington. Along with a sixteen-piece orchestra, Washington will be performing his original score for the recent Netflix-produced Michelle Obama documentary Becoming, based on her memoir of the same name. In a convo with the artist also included in the programming, he’ll discuss the Obamas’ Spotify playlist as an inspiration for writing the music. The episode also includes a performance from genre-blurring bandleader and producer Louie Vega.
