Cleo Sol, the voice behind mysterious avant-soul band SAULT, has recently had a baby, an experience she describes as
“the most transformative, uplifting, heart melting, strength giving experience thus far that led me to write this album.”
Her beautiful second album, 'Mother' has just been released:

“The Spirit of Eden was definitely the album where I thought, ‘This is it. This is what we’ve been reaching for.’ Two things came together. First, because we’d previously sold so many records, we had a very large recording budget, which we decided to use to give us freedom to experiment. And second, digital recording had just come in.” – Mark Hollis, The Sunday Times 1998
The newest song from Snail Mail aka 22-year-old Lindsey Jordan. Her 2nd full length record of the same name is out November 5
Lindsey Jordan wrote Valentine in 2019 and 2020 and recorded it with help from producer Brad Cook. “I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all,” she said in a statement. “Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is my child!”
Snail Mail was LIVE on KEXP in June of 2018: www.youtube.com

"There She Goes" is a song with one crazy story, so hang on. It was written by the Liverpool singer and guitarist Lee Mavers, and recorded by his band The La's. The La's released it on their only album, titled The La's. "There She Goes" was released as a single, not once, not twice, but four times!
This song, composed by Noel Gallagher, is the favorite Oasis song of his brother Liam. Following the terror attack on Manchester in May 2017, which saw 22 people die after a gig by US pop star Ariana Grande in the city, Liam Gallagher performed the song with Coldplay's Chris Martin at the One Love Manchester tribute show the following week.: www.radiox.co.uk
This Baltimore band’s third album is an excellent set of expansive hardcore inflected with metal, dance-friendly indie-pop, astral R&B, New Wave and more, combining thick guitar riffs, punchy rhythms, urgent vocals, introspective lyrics, soaring choruses and anthemic song hooks. Special guests include Blood Orange and Julien Baker.

Helado Negro—the music project of Roberto Carlos Lange—has announced a new album, 'Far In' - arriving October 22. Check out Live Video from Helado Negro's 2017 KEXP In-Studio: bit.ly.
***
South Florida native, born to Ecuadorian immigrants and based in Brooklyn, Lange's upbringing provides essential elements to his songwriting, including his consistently bilingual lyrics in English and Spanish. Exploring the expressivity within intense states of being, Latinx identity, and pluralistic sensibilities, his music can be characterized as lyrically personal and political avant pop music.
