New Music

This #NowPlaying discovery of Zhalarina comes to us from this year's Tiny Desk Contest.

Redman's angular melody entwines with a countermelody by Ron Miles on cornet, as bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade percolate the groove.

Kississippi articulates the overwhelming rush and nonsensical whims of a new crush.

This piece, from a new album of orchestral works by Richter, depicts the opening of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway by pairing pulsating rhythms with the composer's signature wistful melodies.

"Letting Go" is a slow burn, glowing auburn against pedal steel, synths and Pedigo's loping guitar as if the song's got nowhere to go, yet is compelled by unseen forces to move on.

Blake Mills provides a hypnotic and experimental samba rhythm, while Amelia Meath's layers of vocals give the minimalist piece a somber, nocturnal vibe.

The beloved indie rock band returns.

Opening cut "Getting Over Our Love" sets the tone of exquisite heartbreak echoed throughout the album.

Alt.Latino producer Anamaria Sayre joins to share noteworthy songs from Aventura and Bad Bunny, Silvana Estrada, Rawayana and Rodrigo Amarante.

The song highlights Tesfaye's sonic progression from origins of brooding minimalistic R&B, into the coke-fueled, Giorgio Moroder, dance-floor bombast he's dipped his foot in on previous records.
