Today's Top Tune

The title track to Wye Oak's fifth album "The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs" coils with exuberance and sweeping choruses. The duo made up of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack visited each other's city for a week at a time to hunker down and combine their song sketches into a bold new album.

In 2017, Jade Bird released her breakout debut EP; while 2018 forecasts a US tour that makes stops at SXSW, Stagecoach, and cities throughout the country. An emerging British talent, Jade Bird anchors songs like "Lottery" in folk-based storytelling.

When Daptone Records decided to record their first Spanish language album, they went to Cuba where they set up a 16-piece orchestra featuring some of Havana's finest musicians. Orquesta Akokán evokes the sound of classical big bands like Perez Prado and Tito Puente. "Mambo Rapidito"explodes with passion!

Laura Veirs follows her 2016 collaboration with k.d. lang and Neko Case with a solo album. It's themed around the fragility of precious things, as Veirs unpacks her expansive musical skills. "Everybody Needs You" is our ode to love on this Valentine's Day.

Founding member of The Frames and star of the film Once - Glen Hansard produced his third solo album on his own. He's a master at creating music that feels complete whether the tracks are solo and acoustic or accompanied by an orchestra. We're excited to share "Roll On Slow."

One of the most anticipated albums of 2018 came courtesy of Merrill Garbus aka Tune-Yards. If you haven't seen her live, check out her latest MBE session. She performed new songs, including "Heart Attack."

British duo Until The Ribbon Breaks showcase their darker side. Powerful lyrics restrained by hints of African rhythms are felt in "One Match."

Experimenting with layers of sound, Austrian duo Leyya offer an offbeat mix of indie rock and electronica. Wistful vocals and strains of sitar float by on "Zoo."

Brooklyn-based Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche is an artist we've championed through the years. Lerche has a knack for translating his woes into swoon-worthy songs. On the solo (and acoustic) "I Know Something That's Gonna Break Your Heart" we find thoughtful lyrics paired with a hummable melody.

Inspired by the theory of simulated reality and extended 80's club remixes, of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes abandoned the familiar approaches used on previous albums. Working alone this time, Barnes forges ahead with an exciting dance beat on “Paranoic Intervals/Body Dysmorphia."
