Sierra Spirit, Rodeo Clown
On her latest EP, the Native songwriter blends personal and ancestral histories with soft-plucked steel string and powwow drumming to create a shimmering portrait of her heritage.
Warning, Rituals of Shame
The pummeling hypnotism of the doom-metal band’s first new material in 20 years still feels perfectly matched to Patrick Walker’s pained howls and Vantablack-hued emotions.
Styrofoam Winos, Any River
The Nashville group’s country-leaning third album is full of nuance, from the sheer array of instrumentation to its affective emotional dynamics.
Jamie Lawlor
Bands reuniting can be much like exes reuniting—there’s the initial intoxication of a long-lost love restored, the few brief moments of ecstasy as it commences, and finally, the heart-sinking reminders of why the damn thing ended in the first place.
