Issue #152
Featuring tracks from Kurt Vile, Bully, Remember Sports, Brennan Wedl, Waxahatchee, and The Beths
This week’s issue pulls in a decidedly alt-country direction. My favorite off is a new release from Kurt Vile called “Chance to Bleed.” It’s a meandering alt-country ear worm.
Coming in #2 for me is “Til My Heart Stops” from The Beths. It comes off of their 2025 album Straight Line Was a Lie. This album has slowly been working on my sub conscious the past few months and I think it is going to emerge as a favorite. There are not any absolute hits, but taken as a whole it is a wonderfully consistent and enjoyable listen. It is a similar experience to what I had with Alvvays 2014 self-titled album.
Looking for new music? Love art? Every week I create a short, five track playlist of the songs I am feeling at the moment along with a beautiful, found postcard. It’s a spark of joy for your eyes and ears.
