When I first downloaded Christian Taylor’s new EP precious for our new music programming, I wasn’t really expecting to listen to an album recorded by someone living out of their car. Christian Taylor spent two years living in an LA studio parking lot to make this project happen. It’s that kind of backstory that gets romanticized in press releases like the one I read, but the reality of it is a lot more mundane with limited resources, trying to figure out how to make music when your living is confined to a car.

Tame Impala's sold-out July 9th performance at Benchmark Arena in Tampa, Florida was nothing short of transcendent. The show was not only a vivid display of Kevin Parker’s world, but also a look inside his personal creative process.

I’ve been completely spun out listening to the new Chanel Beads record this past week, but I while I was writing about that album, I kept seeing people call Sweet Fortune Ryan Beatty’s "happiest" album on the subreddit popheads. On first listen, I get it. It’s definitely lighter than Beatty’s previous album Calico. The music breathes a bit more, his voice feels less strained, and he isn't pulling you down into the same emotional pits that defined his last album. Beatty himself has described this period as one written from happiness rather than heartbreak, though even he has said that shift came with a strange kind of anxiety. Joy, he said, didn’t feel like relief so much as exposure. There’s less distance available between feeling something and having to say it out loud.

There was a point that feels centered during the late 2010s, where indie music became nearly incapable of sincerity without focusing on or acknowledging how strange sincerity had become. Emotional gestures and motives wrapped in question marks as every stylistic decision seemed aware of its genre’s history, every record coming with a trailing footprint of a bibliography connected to it. Artists became more and more fluent in the language of reference and listeners, myself included, became increasingly fluent in categorization of genres. We reached for words like “hypnagogic pop,” “sophistipop,” or “post-internet,” each one useful enough to orient ourselves in conversation about sound without much explanation on why an album felt the way it did.

After releasing their genre-bending third album, “Ugly Duckling Union”, Lowertown put on, in the words of band member Olivia Osby, “the best show of the tour.” in their hometown of Atlanta. And while I can’t vouch for the other shows, I can most certainly claim Lowertown’s June 17th show at The Masquerade was a homecoming like no other.

Released on June 12, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo’s third studio album “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love” gives audiences a look into Rodrigo’s new perspective on love after going through her first “big girl” relationship as she describes it. Alongside her new outlook, she also breaks the capital four letter word naming convention of her previous chart-topping albums, SOUR, and GUTS, joking in her Saturday Night Live monologue that she “Learned more words!”. The title comes straight from the mouth of her long-time producer Dan Nigro. When in the studio, those words deeply resonated with the story Rodrigo was trying to portray in the album. The 13-track record is split between the A “Girl so in love” side, and the B “You seem Pretty Sad” side.

For years, being a Choker fan required patience. After building a strong following with "Peak", "Honeybloom", and a trio of experimental EPs through 2019, the alternative R&B artist largely disappeared from the spotlight. While comparisons to Frank Ocean followed him from the beginning, Choker's appeal has always come from the unpredictable nature of his sound. His songs rarely follow expected structures, his production often feels intentionally unfinished or loose, and his lyrics come through in fragments that connect across songs. These choices are seen clearly now, as Choker returned with the release of “Heaven Ain't Sold” 7 years later this February, and Friday night's performance at The Masquerade's Hell venue felt like a celebration of that comeback fans were waiting for unwearyingly.

One of the glories of the modern day is the instant access to millions of pieces of music at the touch of a button. With recent advancements in technology one would think the entertainment mediums of the past would have been long lost to time. Regardless of the “archaic-ness” of these ways of listening, things like cassettes, CDs, and especially vinyl records have seen a massive comeback in the past few years.

Looking back at love songs of years past, there is a stark contrast between how they are written throughout the decades. However, one thing that has stayed the same is the dominance of happy songs highlighting the brighter sides of romance. Whether its rock n’ roll from the 50s or emerging hip-hop from the 80s, they tend to stray away from the sad and dreary. When comparing these to the love songs from today, we see a much heavier focus on breakups, toxic relationships and hopeless romance.
