New Daze

Bay Ledges

Golden Ticket

Brasstracks

This album lands directly in the middle of a dartboard where all of the sections include: jazz, hip-hop, funk, disco, R&B, and country. Just kidding. No country. Fun fact, Brasstracks produced Chance the Rapper's hit single "No Problem" off of Chance's 2016 album Coloring Book. These guys are by no means slept on with all of their success, but it's definitely time to give Golden Ticket a full listen and enjoy the disco breaks, beautiful trumpet, and as many features as you can handle.

The feature on the song "No Problems" wasn't the group's only brush with the musical big shots. They also perform alongside Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson on Saturday Night Live. 

Don't worry, we did the digging for you to find that video. You can check it out right here.

Strawberry Mansion

Langhorne Slim

Langhorne Slim, in addition to having an incredible stage name, might've released his best album to date with Strawberry Mansion. Well respected in the underground folk scene (is that a thing?), his perfect twangy and raspy folk voice shines through in this album, released less than a month ago. The album is the first one that he has released in over 3 years and is packed tight with simple observations on the beauty of everyday life. It's relatable, cheery and packed with stringed instruments. 

BONUS CONTENT
There are some darker undertones to Strawberry Mansion. Slim (don't worry, we asked him and we can call him that) had battled with anxiety and prescription drug abuse in 2018 and 2019 and hadn't written a song in over a year. Luckily he was able to work himself out of the rut and begin writing again for Strawberry Mansion. The album was recorded with Paul DeFigilia of the Avett Brothers.

Being No One, Going Nowhere

STRFKR

STRFKR will always remain amongst the early 2000's Indie elite, holding rank with MGMT, Foster the People, Phoenix, and other unforgettable names. Their 2008 song, Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second, is what launched them into popularity, but their fourth studio album, Being No One, Going Nowhere, is undoubtedly a defining moment in the band's discography. The album's themes of existentialism and introspection make it relatable to moody teens everywhere, but the cosmic synths and playful pop throughout the album will make just about anyone want to get up and move. If you're a fan of contemplating life, outer space, or dance parties, check out Being No One, Going Nowhere.

BONUS CONTENT
STRFKR is from Portland, Oregon (because of course they are) and the band has gained some notoriety for wearing women's clothing when performing (because of course they have). Such attire speaks to the bands desire to break away from the traditional music establishment. 

You can watch a video of such a performance right here.

With Heaven to a Tortured Mind, Yves Tumor ascends to rock star status. Yves allows their voice to take front stage of their music and this album displays the benefits of that decision. As the album progresses, we hear heavy guitar-led rock transition into smooth R&B with groovy drum beats. Yves’ lyrics, tone and production work in tandem to deliver a genre-bending masterpiece that certainly has something for every music fan.
