Today's Top Tune

A rolling drumbeat and solid tambourine punctuate Austin-based Charley Crockett’s twang on his slinging new country hit, “Lonesome Drift.” It’s a precursor to an album coming in March — co-produced with Shooter Jennings. 

The title track to Salami Rose Joe Louis (aka Lindsay Olsen’s) new album “Arm fell asleep” came to her when she felt that familiar numbing feeling. “I was reflecting on a period in my life when I had lost agency in my life, forgot my strength, and ability to steer my ship to safety,” explains Olsen. “It is a terrifying thing to be so under the influence of hegemonic forces that a part of you falls asleep. In the final section of this song, the person emerges back on land, limbs awake, but despite their return to safety, they are pretty bedraggled and are freshly confronted with the complexity of reality. Their body is weak, [and] they are overwhelmed by social etiquette and how to heal in a fast paced, ruthless environment.” 

With a new album on the horizon in August, Jack White sticks to his DIY roots by recording, producing, mixing, and pressing to vinyl his forthcoming album, No Name, at his Third Man Studio between 2023 - 2024. We’ll let Jack’s crunchy guitar, righteous licks, loving lyrics and band tear it down on “Archbishop Harold Holmes.” 

Jack White’s record-store-only release No Name took the world by storm in the summer of 2024. So much so that it was eventually shared with the public at large. The album sees White sticking to his DIY roots by recording, producing, mixing, and pressing it to vinyl at his Third Man studio from 2023-2024. So let’s make way now for Jack’s crunchy guitar, righteous licks, loving lyrics, and ferocious band to tear it down on “Archbishop Harold Holmes.”

A Nordic sibling duo to keep an ear on in 2025, ORA fills the airwaves with the sounds of the rivalries and harmony within families — a testament to the alchemy of their bond.  

Last night, Jeremy Sole premiered a new track by Okonski. The project is led by Durand Jones & The Indications’ pianist and bandleader Steve Okonski, and features a couple of his bandmates — drummer Aaron Frazer and bassist Michael Montgomery. Tightly  improvisational, we dig into the meditative “Dahlia.” 

If you can believe it, it’s Friday once again! To celebrate the end of a tough month, let’s turn to revered British trio Jungle who set our hearts ablaze with “Keep Me Satisfied.” Nuff said. 

What the world needs now is a little love and goodwill and that’s what you’ll hear when you spin Montreal-based Yves Jarvis’ new driving song “All Cylinders.” We believe you’ll find it to be in the style and warmth of Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach. 

Let’s tap into the work of composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Serebii (aka Callum Mower) — a talented, jazzy crooner based in New Zealand. Here’s “Verrans Corner,” which AI says is a location in Auckland that includes character shops. 

LA’s electronic OGs Bitter:Sweet are back with a magnetic new song; a preview of their forthcoming album scheduled to be released in the spring. “Baby Is Back” sends a strong message, letting us know that frontwoman Shana Halligan is fully in charge of their sound. 

As we know, change isn’t easy — whether it’s going through puberty or adjusting to what life throws at you. LA-based trio Trousdale — Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones — address all of it head on with their ripping new track “Growing Pains.”
