Dawn Richard, Creole Culture
Made in homage to the vibrancy of New Orleans’ musical history, the eclectic R&B artist’s first solo album in five years is all giddy momentum.
Remi Wolf, Mud
Written in the aftermath of a breakup, the alt-pop songwriter’s gut punch of a third album sees her diving into discomfort head first without losing any of her storytelling’s signature color.
Total Wife, come.back.down.x.recovery
The Nashville-based shoegaze experimentalists enlist their peers to help rehab rough demos from last year’s Come Back Down, with the resulting EP proving unexpectedly cohesive.

The Happy Valley music festival once again stands out during festival season by embracing its natural surroundings and simply enlisting musicians who fit the scene.
It was a festival filled with dualities: that Charles Bradley is not a lone eagle, that J Mascis can blow out an amp and shred on acoustic within a matter of hours, that the pleasant Pacific Northwest can still get really freakin’ hot.
