Owls, Omens, and Oracles
The Tennessee singer-songwriter’s joyful new album pushes back against the bleakness of doomscrolling
The Guardian
Valerie June
Owls, Omens, and Oracles
Indoctrinated in this album and June’s voice is the reverent nature of the far reaching truth that flows and weaves through each of us in our shared collective humanity. Find yourself in the space between songs, rest in the melodies and discover the place in your body that is answering her call

Owls, Omens, and Oracles
Although the tempos wane during the album's second half, its quality persists. "My Life Is a Country Song" is a highlight, and the closer, "Love and Let Go," is a gorgeous, slow-burning testament to patience and surrender
All Music
Valerie June
Owls, Omens, and Oracles
The Tennessee singer-songwriter’s sixth album is a necessary reminder missing from swaths of contemporary music that happiness is just as potent a tool for beating back the darkness as anger

Bon Iver
SABLE, fABLE
After foregoing the sad troubadour parable, Justin Vernon’s band is the poppiest they've ever been on their double-disc fifth album full of uncharacteristically clear songwriting and unfounded vocal collaborations

Bon Iver

Bon Iver
SABLE, fABLE
With SABLE, fABLE, Bon Iver delivers an album that feels less like a statement and more like a reconciliation. It doesn’t chase trends but finds meaning in the middle distance between cabin and studio, between myth and memory

Patterson Hood
Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams
The big name collaborations are sure to turn heads. But they of course flocked to work with Hood because he’s a living Americana legend. And from his increasingly adventurous writing on the keys, to his literary as ever lyrics, Hood’s bonafides abound on Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams
Under The Radar
Ok Go
And The Adjacent Possible
OK Go have delivered an album that has has some fantastically-crafted moments in which sit alongside tracks that have ‘bubbles of potential’, it’s not quite the musical evolution that you would expect after ten years, but it is assured, perspective shifting
Clash
Ok Go
And The Adjacent Possible
The sharp hooks and angular energy of their earlier work are missing, and the album lacks the wide-eyed wonder of their breakthrough days
Dork
Ok Go
And The Adjacent Possible
There is some high-quality meat on sturdy bones for your delectation here, but I wouldn’t want to strip the carcass for every morsel
XS Noize
Ok Go
And The Adjacent Possible
The band's first album in ten years And the Adjacent Possible blends wonder and weariness
