Warm folsky beauty that does not give up their experimentalism at all. I wasn't a big fan of their first two albums but this is so great. Check it out if you like Joanna Newsom

One of my favorite bands ever releasing an incredibly beautiful album. I absolutely love the new direction they’ve taken with it and their ability to create such variation from album to album

Here are my fav records that I have been listening to lately, this lineup strikes me as very "pi.fyi-core". Hope you enjoy :)
(in order of appearance)
-Thinking Fellers Union Local 282: Lovelyville <discovered this reading some Robert Schneider interviews after seeing the Apples in Stereo play for the W.C. Hart memorial show in Athens>
-DJO: The Crux <That guy from Stranger Things has a set of pipes, great happy album>
Panda Bear: Sinister Gift <sounds like The Beach Boys! the parts that don't are kinda atmospheric and very very pretty>
Bon Iver: SABLE, fABLE <he strikes again. very stripped back but absolutely gorgeous. Justin literally can not make a song that isnt somehow lush and cold at the same, like being covered in a sheet of ice that keeps you warm. He has this interview where he talks about the work and thought process behind it. Very cool!>
Black Country, New Road: Forever Howlong <this album features almost entirely female vocals, a nice change since Issac Wood left the band, and the vocals, piano, and woodwind instumetaion are just absolutely gorgeous, sounds like rain smells.
Cameron Winter: Heavy Metal <since half of this app is from Brooklyn, I'm sure you know this guy! He sings for the band Geese, but this record doesn't sound much like Geese at all. It has some of the craziest lyrics.I have heard in a hot minute, and is adorned by ~usually~ sparse and skeletal instruments, as well as Camerons odd yet alluring voice.
Hope you enjoy! lmk what you think of these records :)

Seven years ago The Ophelias made Always, the prettiest indie album ever.
This new album, produced by Julien Baker, isn’t so pretty. The instruments are turned up and chaotic. Spencer Peppet’s vocals can be difficult to find in that loud mix when first listening, but they’re there and they’re urgent. Her lyrics are like poems with choruses. They aren’t always the most rhythmic or musical, like it’s more important to get her thoughts out than to craft a perfect verse.
They’ve tagged this album as “mermaid rock” and “nature punk” and I think you’ll see that those are fitting descriptions!
Cumulonimbus is a good song to start with. Salome is a banger!
