Music & Culture

Aye Nako's forthcoming Silver Haze builds effervescent pop-punk melodies in squalling harmony. But here, the band makes a strong case for something unprecedented during this uneasy time: tenderness.

Cold Beat's forthcoming Chaos By Invitation leans into the band's pop sensibilities more than ever, and bring a load of synths with them.

The Tennessee-bred quartet charges forth with a bright-eyed take on throwback rock 'n' roll. Bassist Alexis Fitzgerald says its defining ideals are "freedom and fun and family."

As many of country's male artists have moved in new directions, the rough-voiced, Georgia-born singer and songwriter offers a refined take on trucks, girls and back roads on his new album.

The Philadelphian, who recently relocated to Nashville, has been working on a punk-influenced sound. Hear the session and watch Gallo perform "Put The Kids To Bed."

Watch the puppets sport eyeliner and sing a song called "I Am Sad And So Am I."

Lean into a kaleidoscopic trance with kalimba and synths until the band hits a motorik groove.

Songs from across the singer's catalog are transformed into tinkling, instrumental lullabies on a new album from the Rockabye Baby! series.
