Essential Full-Length Releases
 Joanna Newsom - Divers It may have been five years since Joanna Newsom's last album, Have One on Me, but she kept herself pretty busy in the interim. She appeared on Austin City Limits and Portlandia in 2012, was featured on Thao and the Get Down Stay Down's We the Common and married Andy Samberg in 2013 and narrated Inherent Vice, last year. With all of that, she found time to work on this latest record, her fourth. Watch: "Sapokanikan" Watch: "Divers" |
 Julien Baker - Sprained Ankle Julien Baker is a 19-year-old singer and songwriter from Memphis. Despite her age, she's already been through and done a lot. She was a member of the band Forrister before heading off to college. She began making her own music after missing her friends, who then encouraged her to record. She hints at past issues with substance abuse and writes openly about death. She recorded her debut album at Matthew E. White's Spacebomb Studios. Watch: "Sprained Ankle" Listen: "Brittle Boned" |
