Arlo Parks sophomore album, My Soft Machine, is a deeply personal body of work; a narration of Parks' experiences as she navigates her 20's and the growth intertwined. It follows her highly-praised debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which received two GRAMMY nominations for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album, won the BRIT Award for Best New Artist, received the Honda Mercury Prize, won the BBC Introducing Artist Of The Year Award, was nominated for Breakthrough International Act at the BET Awards and reached the top 3 on the UK Album Charts. Parks shares about how the new album and album title came to fruition: "The world/our view of it is peppered by the biggest things we experience - our traumas, upbringing, vulnerabilities almost like visual snow. This record is life through my lens, through my body - the mid 20s anxiety, the substance abuse of friends around me, the viscera of being in love for the first time, navigating PTSD and grief and self-sabotage and joy, moving through worlds with wonder and sensitivity- what it's like to be trapped in this particular body. There is a quote from a Joanna Hogg film called The Souvenir, it's an A24 semi-autobiographical film with Tilda Swinton - it recounts a young film student falling in love with an older, charismatic man then being drawn into his addiction - in an early scene he's explaining why people watch films - 'we don't want to see life as it is played out we want to see life as it is experienced in this soft machine.' So, there we have it... My Soft Machine." The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles throughout 2021/2022. Arlo worked alongside producers including Paul Epworth, Ariel Rechtshaid, Romil Hemnani (Brockhampton), Frank Ocean-collaborator Buddy Ross, and Carter Lang (SZA), whilst also self-producing a run of material on the album. The record features a guest vocal from musician and friend, Phoebe Bridgers.

Baby Rose makes healing music for the aimless and heartbroken. The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter and producers uniquely rich voice naturally lends itself to her powerful, smoke-filled ballads lamenting lost loves and broken futures. I make music to help myself get through things, she says. The piercing honesty and vulnerability she brings to her lyrics in turn helps others process their feelings and find a place of healing. For Rose, its a journey thats still ongoing. If Im going to leave anything behind, its going to be getting people back to themselves, she says. As I get back to myself, its a constant reset: Remember who you are, remember who you want to be.

You can hear the impact of this approach in Baby Roses upcoming second album, Through and Through. Take the hypnotic Fight Club. Over the tracks simmering baseline and crashing cymbals, she declares, I dont need no one else to show me the way. She describes the song as a breaking of the shell. It encourages me to just go for it and not care about what anyone else thinks. Therein lies Baby Roses strength: a determination to live, love, and create on her own terms. Im not just a singer with a unique voice, she says. Im somebody that has something to say.

In the years since releasing her last album, To Myself, Rose has been painstakingly piecing together its sequel. Started almost immediately after its release, her new body of work finds her in a state of musical and personal transition. Its a subtle merging of new soundsstirring rock, upbeat r&b, psychedelic funk, pop, and soulful ballads, all mastered through analog tape to make the music feel warmer and all-encompassing. Its also a journey inward as she battles past fear and self-doubt to finally discoverand lovewho she is, where she is. Finishing an album with such peace and firm resolution is a first for Rose, but she makes it clear: Shes nowhere near done writing her story.

Armed with crushing metallic riffs, instantly both fresh and familiar, Incendiary populate each of their four full-length albums with irresistibly energized rhythms and adrenalized urgency.Change The Way You Think About Painis their leanest and unapologetically meanest yet. The quintet weaned on the Long Island, New York, hardcore scene have more to say than ever. Sharply biting and insightful lyrics sit atop blunt metalcore in a perfect soundtrack to throw a brick through a window.
Incendiary delivers a sound of its own, mixing classic passion and modern power. Frontman Brendan Garrone, guitarists Brian Audley and Rob Nobile, and drummer Dan Lomeli, cite East Coast hardcore heroes like Vision Of Disorder, 108, Indecision and Glassjaw as part of Incendiarys formative DNA. Less familiar listeners might liken them to avery heavyRage Against The Machine.
The band returned to Will Putney of Graphic Nature Audio (Knocked Loose, Every Time I Die,Vein.fm) to engineer, mix and master the new release. Many essential genre bands never made asecondalbum, let alone a fourth. We are kind of in rare territory being a hardcore band on their fourth LP, Garrone concedes. It feels like a milestone. By now, youre either supposed to drastically change your sound or have it be the exact same thing as the record before, he adds. We didnt want to do either of those things. Our focus was on refining the sound that weve optimally been working towards rather than any desire to make a huge pivot. Audley says that in addition to the more focused songwriting onChange The Way You Think About Pain, we also wanted it to be more aggressive and more abrasive, in terms of songs and production.
Thematically, Incendiarys fourth album confronts the hyper-polarization of American society, those who confuse selfishness with freedom, and the lengths well go to in order to avoid pain and maintain comfort. The socio-political pulse found throughoutCost of Livingremains, with a deeper exploration of the introspective personal lyrics Garrone started to introduce onThousand Mile Stare. The album is a mix of both the socio-politically driven content and darker, more personalized subjects. The album title is meant to conjure the concept of pain avoidance, Garrone explains. Most of the songs have some kind of tie back to the things everyone does to avoid feeling any semblance of pain. Pain avoidance is a phrase me and Brian came across and kept in the back of our minds.

Electric Blue Vinyl. Deeply informed by a deliberate transformation of his musical process, Bayonne's third full-length Temporary Time ultimately makes for his most expansive work to date-an album of both painfully raw introspection and otherworldly beauty. On Temporary Time, Bayonne channels vast imagination into an elegant, yet wildly experimental form of electronic pop, equal parts meditative and mesmerizing. In the making of his latest body of work, the Austin-based artist/producer/multi-instrumentalist otherwise known as Roger Sellers found himself in even greater need of an outlet for his kinetic creative impulses, thanks to an intense convergence of events in his personal life: his father's diagnosis with and eventual death from cancer, the end of a significant relationship, and an overwhelming struggle with depression and anxiety. "Right Thing" and "Perfect" are focus tracks.
