Argento: Miraggi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not all of us can afford beachfront property with a convertible Bugatti to match, but thanks to the new album by Argento, we no longer need to. Inspired by the riches of the Tuscan coast, Miraggi is as sultry as music tagged “Balearic” gets. Breathy flutes wisp up and down, casting their ocean spray as they pass. Lithe basslines sway against windswept chimes, beckoning you to leave it all behind. New age, downtempo, and jazz fusion shimmer and swirl together like crisp white wine. That’s right,
Frances Chang: been thinking bout confession (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Frances Chang writes with the self-awareness of a kid who spends way too much time on her phone, but she sings like a much older and wearier soul. The Brooklyn artist’s albums and songs have a tossed-off, first-thought-best-thought quality; titles like “Rate My Aura,” “i quit cigs,” and support your local nihilist could all easily pass as Hinge prompts. Look deeper, though, and you’ll find an artist desperately searching for a sense of self. Previous albums, like 2024’s Psychedelic Anxiety, wove
Hana Stretton: tiarn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If there’s a common principle to folk music, it’s in its sense of community. It draws on shared language—histories and myths, mountains and the people who climbed them.

Nu Jazz: Un Jazz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a hunger for shredding in the air. After years of press-play shows becoming the norm, artists are once again being rewarded for actually being good at their instruments. Fievel Is Glauque, SML, YHWH Nailgun, Black Midi’s various spin-offs—we’re living in proggy times, but you know what’s even better than someone who can play their instrument well? Someone who’s so good that they know how to pretend to be sloppy. Nu Jazz are a New York supergroup that’s congealed out of a handful of overl
Opeth: Damnation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Mellotron occupies a phantasmal space in our pop culture consciousness. One of the earliest examples of sampling technology, its peculiar tone was initially conceived so that anybody could play, say, a flute, by using a tape recording of that flute remapped onto the notes of a keyboard. Only it wouldn’t come out sounding quite like a flute. The distortion of the tape produced a timbre drenched in a kind of eerie nostalgia; its choir bank was described as the sound of “dead men singing.” The
