Orville Peck: Mule (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Orville Peck isn’t the first rhinestone cowboy to be laid low by the temptations of Sin City. Peck pegs the start of his downward spiral to the eve of his tour supporting 2022’s Bronco, the album that elevated him into the major leagues. A chance encounter with an ex-lover kicked off a bender that ended in an overdose, leaving his management to issue an ultimatum: If he didn’t go to rehab, they’d sever ties, right at the moment he seemed poised for stardom. He grudgingly acquiesced, but he secre
Leon Bridges: Happiness Anytime (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It doesn’t take long for Happiness Anytime, the fifth full-length album from neo-soul singer Leon Bridges, to deliver upon its titular promise. “Light the Way” kicks off the proceedings in high spirits, taking flight on an ebullient Latin beat intent on suffocating sadness, establishing a tone the rest of the record maintains, even when the tempo slows or the genre shifts. Freely adapting rhythms from around the globe, Happiness Anytime represents a stylistic shift from the country-soul leanings
Rhiannon Giddens: Hope Is the Thing With Feathers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hope Is the Thing With Feathers is a sort of homecoming for Rhiannon Giddens.

Laura Veirs: Temple Songs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“The arc still bends towards justice, right?” Laura Veirs asks at the start of Temple Songs, her first collection of original material since 2022’s Found Light. Veirs follows her opening gambit by confessing she’s “not so sure in the middle of the night,” wondering why she’s “still holding this fucking sign.” The nod to protests and societal upheaval provides context for the sublime tranquility of Temple Songs: It’s an album that plays like a respite from chaos. Fittingly, Veirs made Temple Song
Trashcan Sinatras: Ever the Optimist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever the Optimist, the name of the seventh album from Scottish indie-pop institution the Trashcan Sinatras, appears to be the kind of title that should be delivered with a wink or a smirk. That’s an interpretation that suits these days of endless doomscrolling, a vantage point that belongs to the resigned and paranoid days of the 21st century. But the Trashcan Sinatras belong to the waning years of the 20th century, and they don’t do irony, nor do they chase trends. Forty years after their forma
