This week we’re highlighting new music from Laura Marling, Beach Weather, and Sophia Warren.
Laura Marling – Patterns in Repeat
Following the birth of her daughter, Laura Marling has released a deeply personal, intimate album that embraces the quiet rhythms of domestic life. Created in her home studio, Patterns in Repeat features gentle strings, restrained vocals, and no percussion, conveying a sense of contained beauty and simplicity. The songs titles reflect on motherhood, relationships, and the cyclical patterns Marling calls “patterns in repeat.” Her familiar lyrical wit blends with a newfound honesty, resulting in a tender exploration of continuity, resilience, and finding joy in the everyday.
Standout Songs: ‘Child of Mine,’ ‘Patterns,’ ‘No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can,’ and ‘Patterns in Repeat.’

Beach Weather – Melt
Beach Weather returns with Melt, their highly anticipated sophomore album, released via Arista Records. Known for their double-platinum hit ‘Sex, Drugs, Etc.’ from ‘Pineapple Sunrise,’ the alt-rock trio of Nick Santino, Sean Silverman, and Reeve Powers now explores darker themes within a “desert disco” soundscape. The album dives into the complexity of relationships, vulnerability, and self-discovery through singles like ‘High in Low Places’ and ‘Hottest Summer on Record.’
Standout Songs: ‘Melt,’ ‘High In Low Places,’ ‘Hardcore Romance,’ ‘Nightcralwer,’ ‘Deadbeat Blues (feat. BEL),’ and ‘Brain Dead.’

Sophia Warren debuts her EP Bloodstone via Tigris 33, the first of a planned three-part series to unfold over the next eighteen months. Produced by Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Beach House), Bloodstone captures Warren’s journey of self-discovery and resilience through hauntingly introspective tracks like ‘Please Don’t Hate Me’ and ‘Stand By.’ Her evocative voice and lyrics traverse themes of vulnerability and strength, reflecting on her teenage experiences with love, pain, and growth. Blending ethereal soundscapes with gritty guitar textures, Warren’s music creates an escape that remains deeply grounded in raw emotion and personal history.
