Sub Pop
The day that music no longer has the power to surprise is the day we stop caring—and even though things can sometimes feel a bit formulaic, today is not that day. How could it be? Young Texas musicians like Leon Bridges are making pitch-perfect retro soul that sounds like Sam Cooke; Chance the Rapper continues to be one of rap’s most unvarnished and experimental MCs; Diplo takes a breather for one of his calmest tracks in recent memery; and 20 years after their last album, Sleater Kinney comes out of NOWHERE to announce a new album and drop its first single. Hell, even James Blake lets loose a new doozy (even though it’s not on Soundcloud).
As usual, we’ve added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone playlist (below). Keep the recommendations coming.

Leon Bridges, “Coming Home”
