I don’t think of Hovvdy as a band where the singer holds a microphone, which is to say I don’t think of core duo Will Taylor and Charlie Martin as frontmen in the classic sense. The band’s music feels too insular and introverted for that kind of showmanship. I think of these guys holding instruments when they sing, not really commanding my attention, letting the song do the talking. But they’re changing my perception with this new album rollout.

I think of Sylvan Esso as a synth-driven project, so it’s interesting to hear them launch into a new era with such a guitar-driven song.

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down were laid to rest in 2021, and from the ashes THAO has risen. The following year the singer-songwriter released the song “Ambition” and covered Björk, and now she’s finally back with “Fossils,” her first new single in six years and her return to Kill Rock Stars.

This month, Harmony Tividad releases Lifetime, the followup to her sleazy electro-pop masterpiece Gossip. So far she’s previewed Lifetime with “Where Strangers Go,” “Anything,” “Apple Pie,” and “I’m Still Learning How To Leave You,” all of which reverberate with the introspective indie pop of her Girlpool days. Now, she’s back with another one called “Best Dressed.”
