Oso Oso has patented a sound that always feels comfortable to listen to. Whether you’ve been indulging in their music nonstop, or take a break and come back to enjoy it again, every Oso record is familiarly pleasant.The newest release from Jade Lilitri’s project is another homerun example of this phenomenon.

Sleater-Kinney's highly-anticipated return strays from their signature sound in search of something grander and poppier. Despite a few missteps, it's both a brave and rewarding album from the indie-rock pioneers.

It’s easy to write Del Rey off as a crybaby. And perhaps, she is. But to be sad is to feel, and to feel is to care. She’s far less prolific than Rockwell, but they both create art that mirrors reality - even if it means being a damper.

The sophomore album from Future Crib is a boundless exploration of rock's outer edges, melding indie-rock, folk, jam, fuzz-rock, and 1975-esque synths into one cohesive piece. Our review:

The current state of the union may be a bummer, but the new track from Jersey’s Save Face of the same name is far from it. Save Face just dropped their new track "Bummer" from their upcoming split with Grad Life, and the music video is packed to the gills with artists from throughout the DIY and emo music worlds.

Peaer is back with their latest album, 'A Healthy Earth' which features the group's best songwriting yet. The album is an exciting work of sonic poetry and a guitarists' dream. Stream the album and read Sarah's review below.

Unlike Taylor Swift’s past work, it is without a doubt that Lover breaks the chains that had been cuffed to her for so many years. Instead of records controlling her, she is taking back her freedom and vulnerability as an artist and as a woman, and crucially doing so in a way that comes across organic and personable to her - a journey of self-care and brighter visions of color.

As the saying goes, "pain is a catalyst for growth" and Florida-based, queer, sadcore group GILT knows that. Their newest single, "Visitation", explores the definition of loss in its entirety. Check out Hope's review of the track.

Nice Going’s EP Cut Your Losses would fit in place with much of the bummer pop that has hit its stride recently.

Being a five-piece power punk act from London, The Gulps are a breath of fresh air in a scene bogged down with imitators and echoes, lacking the verve to stand apart. This is only elevated through the attitude and vigor of their latest EP, 'In The Kings House' that dropped in April. Read Hope's review.

Queen of Jeans' latest record, 'If You’re Not Afraid, I’m Not Afraid', is for people who have been crushed and mangled by past relationships but still want to have faith in the purity of love. Read Bineet's review ahead of its release later this month through Topshelf Records.

Strange Ranger’s third LP strikes the perfect balance between a band that knows what it wants to be and a band that could be anything it wants. It builds off of the reset that 'Daymoon' provided while tapping into the sense of adventure that made 'Rot Forever' so enticing.
