The Marías – Submarine

Submarine delves into themes of solitude and exploration, particularly navigating heartbreak and the complexities of emotions during that period.

BADBADNOTGOOD – Mid Spiral: Growth EP
BADBADNOTGOOD’s Mid Spiral: Growth, released in May 2024, is the final installment in their three-part EP series, Mid Spiral: Chaos, Order & Growth. This culmination of ideas from the first two parts, “Chaos” and “Order,” leans on the band’s jazz foundation while incorporating a broader range of influences. Featuring guest appearances by Toronto-based jazz musicians Kaelin Murphy (trumpet) and Juan Carlos Medrano Magallanes (percussion), as well as LA guitarist Tyler Lott, the EP spans just over 22 minutes with five songs. While Mid Spiral: Chaos, Order & Growth will be available as a double LP and CD in October 2024, Mid Spiral: Growth can already be streamed independently.

Anastasia Coope – Darning Woman
Out now via Jagjaguwar, Darning Woman is an album that challenges the norms of DIY, bedroom music, and traditional feminine themes. On it, Coope focuses on the immediacy of moments and the passage of time rather than personal hardships. The album meditates on sewing and repair as a critique against materialism, emphasizing the importance of meaningful collection and creation, akin to birds building nests.
Standout Songs: He is On His Way Home We Don’t Live Together, What Doesn’t Work What Does, Woke Up and No Feet
