Essential Full-Length Releases


Brigid Dawson & Mothers Network - Ballet of Apes

Brigid Dawson has been an on-and-off member (currently off) of Thee Oh Sees since 2005, providing keyboards, tambourine, and backing vocals for the band. Ballet of Apes is her debut album, in which she collaborates with former bandmates, and current and former members of Fresh & Onlys, Sic Alps, and Total Control.

Katie Von Schleicher - Consummation

This is the sophomore album from the co-lead singer of Wilder Maker, following 2017's Shitty Hits. Inspired partially by Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, this album pushes Von Schleicher past the lo-fi sound of her debut.

Watch: "Caged Sleep"
Watch: "Wheel"




Nation of Language - Introduction, Presence

I was wondering recently what became of Holograms, a great band that rode the wave of an '80s-style synth resurgence about a decade ago. That band is still very silent, but there's a new resurgence of the sound, and Nation of Language of helping ring that in. This is their debut album.

Watch: "The Wall & I"
Watch: "Rush & Fever"




Owen Pallett - Island

I only learned about this album on the day it was released and thought that the announcement had somehow flown under my radar. Not so! Pallett pulled a Beyoncé and surprise-released his fifth album.
