Caroline Rose, Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Mall
Blending synthpop, alt-country, and punk, the songwriter’s surrealist vision of American suburbia in 2026 is fueled by tracks that rip and soak in the moments they depict.
Sour Widows, Sigil
The Bay Area duo confronts grief and cruelty while making space for necessary indulgence on their second LP, with producer Melina Duterte pushing them toward bolder arrangements.
Grumpy, Unfindable Ring
After a pair of EPs opened the door to shapeshifting unpredictability, Heaven Schmitt’s second LP leans into an emotive, purposefully fragmented sound that remains impossible to pin down.
