Wishy, Nature’s Pill
The guitar-pop group expands upon their 2024 debut with a more relaxed effort emphasizing a stronger interplay between two co-vocalists who remain a match made in college-rock heaven.
Leon Bridges, Happiness Anytime
Continuing to defy expectations, the Texan R&B songwriter heads for the London dancefloor on a joyful collaboration with acid-jazz outfit Jungle.
Hermanos Gutiérrez, Los Ojos del Cóndor
Dedicated to the instrumental folk duo’s father, their forlorn cinematic expanse is given greater breadth and interwoven liveliness on their seventh LP.
