The title of the new album “The Hits Keep Coming” doesn’t refer to hit singles but the body blows delivered by a lifetime of playing the blues.

Rick Estrin & the Nightcats

“Look to the East, Look to the West” is their first album in 11 years but they waste no time re-capturing the essence of what they are known for; effortlessly blending catchy hooks with thoughtful songwriting surrounded by lush, modern arrangements.

Camera Obscura

“All Born Screaming” is a thrill ride of psychedelic, dystopian experimentation

St. Vincent

"Dark Matter" is their twelfth studio album, a vivid testament to their enduring artistry and evolution.

Pearl Jam

Her third album “Don’t forget me” has many songs about coping with the sudden rush of fame.
