Claude Fontaine – Claude Fontaine 🐦
”This LA-based artist’s debut album is a well-crafted set of rocksteady, early reggae and bossa nova, combining a warm, spare sound with her breathy vocals and melancholy lyrics.” – KEXP
Pure Bathing Culture – Night Pass 🌌
”The highly anticipated, third studio album is described as “the most distinguished demonstration of this Portland duo’s intensely unique musical identity to date.” The indie pop pioneers’ spirit of resilience beats through ten impassioned tracks, exploding into songs like “Devotion,” a danceable canticle in praise of partnership.” – Music Existence
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Fishing for Fishies 🐠
”Frontman Stu Mackenzie described the record as an attempt at making a blues record, or “a blues-boogie-shuffle-kinda-thing” as he calls it, but their material ended up going on “wild journeys of transformation.” – Exclaim!
Nick Murphy/Chet Faker – Run Fast Sleep Naked 🏃🏽♀️
”It’s a record of jagged energy, psychological depths and demanding soulfulness; when it sounds sweetest the emotional friction is jarring, but there’s a calmness in moments of extreme. Run Fast Sleep Naked mutates R&B grooves, dissonant electronic rock and tremulous pop. It’s both confrontational and cathartic.” – The Sydney Morning Herald
Agoria – Drift 🛸
”Drift is sitting on your sofa between your guilty pleasure and your tasteful opinion,” says Agoria. He collaborates with a handful of artists on the record, including Phoebe Killdeer, STS, Jacques and Oscar-winning sound designer Nicolas Becker.” – Frontview Magazine
