This week, we’re (I’m) listening to a new album from some of our (my) buds in Omaha, NE, The Sunks! This album y’all. Even if you haven’t been hearing these songs at dive bars around Omaha for the last 5 years, it’s still for you. I may be biased but it truly is a great album. Here’s their bandcamp and IG — check em out!
This week, I went into the handy-dandy “songs you might have missed” Spotify playlist and clicked randomly on “green eyes” by Arlo Parks. I was very immediately struck. I then began to notice her and her name on a lot of indie lists, her songs all over best-of lists and indie playlists I had definitely listened to before. There is no definitive album of hers on Spotify, so I just listened to the “This Is Arlo Parks” playlist. And what an artist, phenomenal melodic intention, such moving lyricism, the perfect backdrop to any chill dinner party or afternoon lounging in a sun-filled room. “Hurt” and “Caroline” and not to mention, I just found a small series of videos of her and Phoebe Bridgers collaborating on Radio 1. What a dream. Listen to this artist. Now.
