Joel Ross, 'Prayer'

The opening track to the vibraphonist and composer's forthcoming album embodies a spirit of quiet humility and common purpose, with a deceptively simple motif that opens up through repetition.

Bartees Strange, 'Heavy Heart'

With urgent drums, layers of guitar riffs and celebratory horns, "Heavy Heart" is a testament to Bartees' ability to build an intricate and expansive song that doesn't sacrifice its emotional core.

Pušča, 'ça brûle'

On Friday, after Russian military forces struck around Kyiv, the Lviv-based black-metal band Pušča — stylized as пуща in Cyrillic script — self-released the album war is hell.

SAFE, 'Day Ones'

The Canadian rapper and singer revels in his success with friends who've been grinding with him from the start.

Orville Peck, 'C'mon Baby, Cry'

As with his previous work, Peck is able to balance nostalgia and modernity, evoking classic country – embracing heartbreak being a hallmark of the genre – while lovingly satirizing its tropes.

Hope Tala, 'Party Sickness'

The song fluctuates between a background choir of voices and beats; it feels like we're there, sitting in conversation with friends and strangers, as the walls pulse.
