Rosalía

Motomami

Juxtaposing the jarring, dissonant, and experimental with the sweet, tender, and nurturing, the Spanish singer revels in musical contradiction.

October 19, 2018

Indie Electronic

Using little more than the sequencer of his vintage Roland SH-101 synth, the Montreal native builds a warm little house around his musings on aging, friendships, matters of the heart.

Sebadoh

Bakesale

August 23, 1994

Alternative Pop/Rock

Lou Barlow’s album of breakup anthems hit incredibly hard as a teenager, and to an extent even more so as a middle-aged man. Bakesale may have evolved from the scrappy lo-fi recordings of the band’s earlier albums, but make no mistake that these tracks are still as raw and emotional as Sebadoh has ever been.
