Sneaks "Happy Birthday (Merge)"
From Merge Records:
Continuing the collaborative relationships from 2019’s Highway Hypnosis with mixing engineer Carlos Hernandez and legendary producer Jacknife Lee, Sneaks’ Eva Moolchan felt free to turn up the energy and explore more elaborate melodies than ever before.
With astrological assertions alongside poetry filtered through a riot grrl spirit and set to thumping bass lines and infectious beats, Moolchan asks all of the questions but invites the listener to divine their own answers. Put on your headphones and let Sneaks lead you on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery that will keep you humming for days.
Roots & Tings "All of This (Rough Trade Publishing)"
A collaboration between artists, Lateef, Jah Yzer and Winstrong based in the Bay Area.
H.C. McEntire "Eno Axis (Merge Records)"
From Merge Records:
“Early rise, start the fire, till the rows, pass the tithes.” So starts H.C. McEntire’s sophomore release, EnoAxis. It’s a set of directions delivered with assurance and authority, reaching the listener without pretension almost as a sermon or spell. McEntire has always had one foot planted in the traditional country gospel roots of her upbringing while boldly wrestling with its complications, creating an Americana sound of her own. But that has never rung as true as it does now on the transcendent psalms of Eno Axis.
