3. ‘GLOW ON’ by TURNSTILE (Post-punk-core)
“Turnstile have kept the reckless physical abandon of their early records, polished their gleaming-chrome hooks, and cranked out a half-hour barrage of joyous positivity,
where even the experimental left turns hit hard.”

4. ‘HEY WHAT’ by LOW (Alt psych rock)
“Low’s third collaboration with BJ Burton, HEY WHAT continues where 2018’s Double Negative left off, Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker grappling with dire times by making damaged, celestial music.”

9. ‘HALL OF FAME’ by POLO G
“It can’t be easy to convey emotional rawness in the context of an ultra-commercial
rap record, but Polo’s writerly grace and hypnotic hooks are up to the task.”

Canadian pop folk band THE WEATHER STATION led by the wonderful
Tamara Lindeman are gearing up to release their fifth album next year,
in February.
Arresting lead-single Robber (listen/watch below), bringing Kate Bush to mind
came our way last month and here’s piece number two.
TRIED TO TELL is an irresistibly upbeat humdinger getting your aural attention
from the very start. The ongoing catchy drum/bass beat has an instant effect,
making your feet tap in harmony and your head going up and down with an
I’m-feeling-good smile on your beaming face. A pop diamond accompanied by
an eye-catching video clip with Lindeman dressed in a sort of cool pieces-of-glass
outfit.
