Slow Pulp, Melodie
The Wisconsin indie rockers have created something more cohesive, polished, and cathartic on their third LP, an exploration of loss and change.
Babehoven, I See Them, I See Me
The indie-folk duo toys with a fuller live-band sound to help reframe under-explored memories, dreams, and lucid reality on 14 twangy tracks that braid together painful loose ends.
Agnes Obel, The Meaning of Flowers
Inspired by the birth of her first child, the Danish artist’s fifth album also pulls heavily from poetry and literature to build on her gorgeous, piano-forward classical-pop sound.
