New Florence album? Holy moly!!

Also, I checked out Kendrick's new album. "We Cry Together" is the stand-out track.

Both great albums! One of my favorites from Kendrick's new one is Father Time (with Sampha, an artist that I really like!).

Oh gosh, hearing Joyce Manor filled me with nostalgia. It feels like pure teenage rebel vibes ✨ Like Simple Plan mixed with Fall Out Boy or sth like that. I reaaallly enjoyed this one 👏

This Josh Spector’s playlist that you mentioned is huge!!! and it's a total mashup with so many hidden gems inside. Loved it ✨

P.S. I'm amazed by today's art! 🎨

If you're feeling nostalgic about emo/pop-punk, I highly recommend checking out Meet Me @ The Altar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mZk2ythbWk) and Spanish Love Songs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYbAW0JlwdQ), if you're not familiar.

Glad you liked the playlist and the art! 🙌🏼

So good, right? Something we should all be reminded once in a while!

I wasn’t told big on Soccer Mommy until “Shotgun” came out; that changed it all for me. I have the record on pre-order, and am looking forward to it coming next month.

I hear the Monophonics yesterday, and they really caught my attention. Colemine Records just keeps putting out great releases!

Really cool idea for sure! Interesting to think about adding songs that comes to mind with no genre or style predetermined.

Wow — the Nemuri was NOT what I was expecting at all. Very cool. And you're right about that new Soccer Mommy...like, what? ALSO not what I was expecting. Great picks all around this week. As always, I feel like my musical palette has expanded yet again thanks to your newsletter. 🙏

Thank you, Matt! The more I listen to Nemuri's album, the more impressed I get!
