Nickie Harte Kelly Inspired by a 1952 Folkways compilation, guitarist Marisa Anderson has reimagined folk tunes from areas with which the US has been in conflict in the modern era. Besides electric, acoustic, and pedal steel guitars, you will hear accordion, violin, viola, and various keyboards. From Afghanistan to Vietnam, this is a thoughtful trip into the international language of music. Favorite track: Sarvi Simin.

kitsuune 🦊💫 lovely, graceful folk gems -- definitely a milestone re: american primitive. Favorite track: Taqsim for Guitar.

chuck p I keep coming back to this one. My 19th favorite album of 2026.

Arpad Okay relentless, threatening, and goofy. the pace is a beat but the bounce is undeniably club music. this boss fight sequel to the italian dream house sound sells it by always going hard. tension in the vibe pushing up the power of the drums is something i like about og jungle and detroit house, the edge on these stompers is as just as sharp. music to juke to after you double cup Favorite track: Slow To Fall In Love.

ghosttropics I feel so grateful to have another record from Theodore. Feels like a sweet little gift directly to my ears and soul. Theodores last album, Patience, quietly became one of my favourite ambient records of all time. Not even halfway through my first listen and I can already tell this one is every bit as special. Delicate and ethereal, with a quiet strength and resilience at its core; a spider web fluttering in the wind
