On her new album, Neon Summer Skin, Bedouine, the project of Azniv Korkejian, explores this feeling of safety long before one can fully understand the concept.

An album called “Roses” would be concerned with romantic gestures. Across the ten tracks that make up the seventh and newest Widowspeak record, intimate spaces and stages of love are captured with a nostalgic, vaseline-coated lens. Candles burn inside red glass as lovers get close in a leather booth. Celebrity headshots gaze down like angels in a restaurant. Elsewhere, carnations are pressed in a black book and dancers pull each other close. Widowspeak is a band that riffs on big emotions without being too self-serious. The sweetness, even silliness, of an extended limerent phase that becomes as all-consuming as a pulpy trade paperback. Cars and their drivers serve as a way to talk about codependency. And old love gets worn in, soft as an old t-shirt. If music can simultaneously be naturalistic and noir, saturated and lush, that is Widowspeak. They’re a band that knows how to set a scene.

New York-based singer-songwriter Emily James is proud to announce her debut album, Summer Nostalgia, due out May 29th via Nettwerk. Over twelve songs, the album unfolds as a concept record, tracing the arc of a couple’s first love - from the rush and intimacy to the quiet, unexpected ways they reconnect later in life. Rather than just revisiting first love, the album examines how we mythologize our own past - how memory softens certain edges and intensifies others. She examines how love shapes identity, especially for girls growing up in small towns where memory and longing can feel inescapable. The record becomes less about a boy and more about who she was, who she became, and how we learn to narrate our own coming-of-age stories.

Rostam’s third album, American Stories, is his first new music in over five years. The Iranian- American artist and acclaimed producer returns with a record that explores his life across dual cultural worlds. The music weaves together elements of Americana and Persian traditions, blending finger- picked guitars, pedal steel, and strummed chords with microtonal Persian melodies. “That marriage of east and west felt like music that I needed to make for this album.” Interweaving his own experiences, Rostam's lyrics are a collection of stories and reflections, “The Weight” takes place on college campuses in America in the spring of 2025. In “Forgive is to Know,” Rostam processes real events and the act of songwriting itself. Rostam makes sense of the end of a relationship in “Hardy ft. Clairo” and contends with humanity’s uncertain future. The result is a record that feels deeply individual yet unmistakably American. “Ultimately I hope listeners find comfort in this record and I want to leave people with a feeling of optimism.”

The group now announces the first single from their anticipated, forthcoming third studio album Iridescent. The single is called “CCTV”.
