Pairing early modern harp and vintage analog synths, the duo cope with disaster by forging soothing atmospheric compositions fueled by their unique creative connection.
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.
Xiu Xiu, Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu: Vol. 1
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.
