Chromatics
Chromatics shared a new song Teacher.
It was to appear on the 2014 album Dear Tommy that was never released.
The song sounds so retro, and so good.
Teacher
CocoRosie
CocoRosie is the duo Bianca “Coco” and Sierra “Rosie” Casady.
Born in the U.S. they united in Paris as a musical entity performing throughout the continent.
By combing different musical styles their sound is difficult to categorize. Some call it Freak Folk. Put the Shine On is their 7th album which includes the song Burning Down the House (not the Talking Heads song).

Alison Mosshart

Rise portends an exciting solo career.

Fiona Apple
It’s difficult to describe the brilliance of Fiona Apple’s new album as she defies musical conventions.
Fetch the Bolt Cutters is a paean to feminist power in all of its idiosyncrasies and nuances. Her voice, from whisper to a scream, with found percussion and zigzagging song structures, is mesmerizing.
This album deserves a complete listen so it is problematic to select one representative song; therefore, I’ll give you 2 to intrigue: the title track Fetch the Bolt Cutters and Under the Table.

Under the Table
Tara MacLean & Catherine MacLellan
Two exquisite singer/songwriters, Tara MacLean and her friend Catherine MacLellan, gathered together on Prince Edward Island in the Canadian northeast to record this beautiful song to guide us through the pandemic.
This Storm
U.S. Girls
U.S. Girls is the brainchild of Meghan Remy.
Her 7th album, Heavy Light, is a pop stunner.
Here are two: 4 American Dollars and Overtime.
