Shallowater, God’s Gonna Give You a Million Dollars
The Houston “dirtgaze” trio ruminate on our intolerable times with some of the quietest and slowest music—as well as the most deafening, distortion-filled cacophony—you’ll hear in 2025.
Ivy, Traces of You
Completing songs written during sessions with late bandmate Adam Schlesinger, this collection hearkens back to the airy spirit that made Ivy such a delight at a time when it was hip to be hopeless.
Big Thief, Double Infinity
Ditching the homespun folk-rock sound of their last record for otherworldly, jazz-infused transmissions, the group’s sixth LP is obsessed with the beauty and inefficiency of language.

Adult Jazz, “Gist Is”

Spider Bags, “Frozen Letter”
Their world is one of blazing ’60s frat-rock with twisted, fuzz-laced psychedelic outros.

The Clean, “Anthology”
This reckless, wayward pop song, with its bright organ flourish (from Martin Phillipps of The Chills), and its dashed-off immediacy still sounds shockingly out-of-time.
