Ezra Furman, Goodbye Small Head
A glitchy folk-punk opera like a pastoral take on Lou Reed’s Berlin, the songwriter’s quivering-yet-empowered latest sees her knocked down—but never knocked out.

Youth Code, Yours, with Malice
The EBM duo continues to test new waters with their debut EP for metalcore label Sumerian, inviting experimentation on each of these five bone-rattling recordings.

Kali Uchis, Sincerely,
Moving from the synth-dembow-pop of last year’s Orquídeas to dreamy neo-soul, her fifth album sees Uchis adapt the tripling axis of joy, pain, and existential dilemma into cloudy song.
Will Schube

Lead single “Broken Rib” is out now, alongside a video co-directed by the artist.

The record will arrive on July 18 via Hyperdub with features from Armand Hammer, bbymutha, Moor Mother, and more.

The Seattle fest is scheduled for August 30 and 31.

“This book ain’t just stories. It’s bars in motion. Flipped like a verse… sharks, gators, chaos—all facts.”

The band’s forthcoming project will arrive on September 12 via Because Music.

The fest is set for October 3 – 5 and October 10 – 13.

The Japanese-American songwriter discusses building her debut album Animaru in the image of its radically restless, endlessly inquisitive creator.

The song features a voice note from Zack Fox, and comes paired with a B-side titled “Can’t Win Em All.”

The band will be celebrating 10 years of Strange Trails on tour later this month.
