Westside Cowboy, So Much Country ’Till We Get There
The buzzy Manchester group’s new EP doubles down on affability with five tracks of straightforward indie rock coursing with charm and easy-going, edgeless quirks.

These covers capture the broad spectrum of artists who’ve inspired Jamie Stewart over the past 24 years—and prove that Xiu Xiu is able to even make Robyn sound unwaveringly dark.
