I sit in the sunny spot of my couch, my television showing what appears to be a warehouse in black and white. Long periods of silence. Intermittent spurts of ambient, highly reverberated music. A figure moving nonchalantly in and out of perfectly still frames. Infuriating anticipation building each second.

International Women’s Day is coming up on Sunday, March 8, and Music Mondays is celebrating by highlighting women in music. Here are five new tracks stretching across punk, pop and indie rock genres to add to your spring break playlists.
King Krule has a lot of gifts that are hard to come by. The project’s red-headed leading man, Archy Marshall, stands so thin I’m always a little worried his guitar might eat him alive, and yet he bellows with an English-accented baritone that can rattle walls and seep its way inside your skull.

To make room in a crowded room of pop superstars, all waxing and waning erratically, all talented and with endless resources at their disposal, a young artist needs a superpower.
A few weeks into January, the album release slates for each week start getting fuller, more surprising and more high profile. The industry’s release schedule usually peaks a few times a year, a bit different from movies where largely the best are saved for last around the holidays.
The first thing Javier Rogers did when he was released from the Richmond city jail in October 2019 was get a coffee from Starbucks. Then he went home.
Five albums into their punk project dubbed The Goo Goo Dolls, John Rzeznik and Robby Takac broke through. “Name” was their first big hit, and left some fans complaining that they had gone too mainstream. One fan even sent Rzeznik a letter in 1998 that started “Dear F-----,” which, he told Guitar World, was not the first time he’d been called such an awful name.
The enigmatic cult icon Frank Ocean is finally back with some new content for the first time in a while. As he had done in the past with new singles such as “Biking,” “Chanel” and “Slide,” Ocean played his latest singles, “DHL” and “In My Room,” as the last song during his Beats1 radio show, blonded RADIO, with “DHL” being released on Oct. 19 and “In My Room” being released on Nov. 2.
This decade, Wilco’s frontman and songwriter, Jeff Tweedy, has released five albums with the band he started 25 years ago, taken time for solo projects and an album with his son, guest starred on Parks and Rec (in the fictional band Land Ho) and written a memoir released last November. And after all that, Tweedy and company released their 12th studio album, Ode to Joy, last month, his most essential work this decade.
Kanye West's latest album, Jesus Is King, was released last Friday to the tamest reception of any Kanye solo album to date. There have been fewer headlines, fewer conversations among casual rap fans and fewer tweets. People are finally taking Kanye less seriously, even as he turns his music toward the power of salvation.
"Remembering the Rockets" starts in the middle of a familiar cycle. “The cars come by your house / It’s Friday night again,” and just like that and with a denser wall of guitars than Strange Ranger has known before, they’ve baked “Leona” in a nostalgic haze.
Now that we are officially in the best season of the year, here are a few albums to look out for to keep you warm in these final months until new releases trickle to a stop and 2019 ends.
Lana Del Rey is back with a beautiful album, and you shouldn’t be surprised.
