Mirah, Dedication
Gently playful with a fire burning underneath, the artist’s first record in seven years signifies her devotion to the craft of making music, whether the light in her career is burning bright or dim.
Worry Club, I’m Freaking Out
The debut album from Midwestern bedroom-pop songwriter Chase Walsh consistently feels authentic as it addresses grief and anxiety as universal truths.
Maria BC, Marathon
The experimental songwriter maintains the haunting delicacies of acoustic guitar and piano on a more fluid third album, while just as frequently counterweaving billowing distortion.
