The Smile

A Light for Attracting Attention

The debut for the Radiohead-adjacent project between Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood (with Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner), A Light for Attracting Attention has been lauded by Pitchfork as “the best album yet by a Radiohead side project” and Rolling Stone affirming it as, “a lower-stakes, jammy album with some of their most straightforward songs in years.”

Recorded at Steve Van Zandt’s Renegade Studios, the fourth album from Jeremy, et al is a nod to the classic rock sound of the early 60s.

The Volebeats

Lonesome Galaxy

Signed to Ben Harper’s Mad Bunny Records, the Volebeats have long been known as an Americana group. With its first recording in 10 years, the group offers an “aural postcard from the shadows of Detroit City,” with a decidedly poppier sound.

“Diamond Ring”

Rip Room

Alight And Resound

This San Francisco art-punk band releases its debut record after two EPs. The band has been compared to Sleater-Kinney and Fugazi.
