"Loretta’s songs — “Fist City,” “The Pill,” “You’re Lookin’ at Country,” they’re all here — are so sturdy and timeless, they’re tough to mess up. Jewell not only doesn’t mess ‘em up, she does ‘em justice and then some." Get @eilenjewell's Butcher Holler:

On Kim Deal's first-ever solo album, produced by the late Steve Albini, a thread of loss and grief gets tucked into a body of work that’s ageless and ever-evolving. pastemagazine.com/?p=395236

"Ageless and ever-evolving... Utterly distinctive music made by a reliably unorthodox songwriter seemingly implacable in her pursuit of a singular sound."

2nd Grade's new album, 'Scheduled Explosions,' is song after song of sharp hooks, lo-fi vibes and winky lyrical references to Pepperidge Farms and the great Dougie Poole, all swirling around into something that hangs together as a brilliant whole. pastemagazine.com/?p=393695
