Dorothy
Roc Nation

Projecting a full-bodied voice with every inch of her being, Dorothy Martin kindles a spark of hope into a fame as bright as the sun itself. The Hungary-born maverick and frontwoman of the LA band Dorothy brings gusto, grit, and glory back to hard rock, exuding superstar-size confidence coupled with the quiet resolve of an old school Western anti-hero.

Charley Crockett
Island

Crockett's Island Records debut is a culmination of all that has come before, with the same unapologetic spirit, die-hard work ethic, and no nonsense honesty that has driven his artistry across his 14 previous studio albums. In the end, Lonesome Drifter takes stock of Charley's road in the rearview as it paves a path into the future.

Neal Francis
ATO Records

Return To Zero sees the Chicago-based singer-songwriter-pianist creating a beautifully strange entangling of timeless rock 'n' roll and '70s-era dance music. Merging supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves, Francis constructed the album sans digital programming in keeping with his long-standing devotion to all things analog.

Clipping
Sub Pop

On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping texture-map the twin histories of hip-hop and cyberpunk onto an alternate present where the lost movements of 1980s and the 1990s are still happening: rave, trip-hop, hip-house, acid house, drum & bass, big beat— the detritus of a different timeline, the survivors of armed audio warfare.
