  • The Texas singer-songwriter revives the country archetype of the drifter in this reflective, gentle song about being in between homes.
  • A surf-rock album that rewards close attention: there's deep intensity and knowing behind the mellow.
  • It seems almost absurd to list all the elements that Lidell manages to synthesize in "Compass": delicate, empyrean tones; an out-of-tune, Micachu-esque guitar; desperado horns; a drumline that sounds like it was recorded in a tunnel; and, of course, his own wistful set of pipes.
  • Even amid the unfamiliar sounds of "Glorified High," Jaffe settles in and makes herself at home.
  • As the leader of Wavves, Nathan Williams has spent five albums grafting big emotions onto a restless runaround of energetic pop-punk and stoner fuzz.
  • Don't let the downtrodden title fool you: Haley Bonar's new side project is rollicking, 80s-flavored dance punk.
  • The new shots from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech target both the original strain of the coronavirus and the omicron BA.4/BA.5 subvariants that most people are catching now.
  • Marc Ribot has spent nearly three decades as a guitarist on the margins. Critic Robert Christgau explains why Ribot's new hard-rock album with Ceramic Dog ranks among his most daring pieces of music.
  • "Vivire Para Ti" has an opening riff that recalls early-'90s acid-jazz and funk, coupled with an irresistible chorus. The song features Mexican pop singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade, and is far more earnest and romantic than most of Los Amigos Invisibles' past work.
  • The veteran punk rocker John Doe embraced his inner mountain man on Country Club, an album of classic country covers he recorded with The Sadies. The Canadian rockers and the former X frontman joined Terry Gross in the Fresh Air studio for an interview and an intimate performance. (Rebroadcast from April 2009.)
