Bryce Dessner

The new EP (which features Phoebe Bridgers, Richard Reed Parry and more) is one of many new projects on Justin Vernon and Bryce & Aaron Dessner’s new online music platform.

Frightened Rabbit singer Scott Hutchison was sadly found dead at age 36. Tributes from fellow musicians and artists are already pouring in…

This week in the basement: Destroyer reissues, Sloan, A Place to Bury Strangers, psych supergroup MIEN, Mouse on Mars’ guest-filled new LP, and Collapsing Scenery cover Randy Newman with James Chance.

Additions include Mouse on Mars, Sam Amidon, Spank Rock, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Lisa Hannigan, and more.

The National are throwing their own Homecoming Festival in Cincinnati and playing two ”completely different” sets each night, plus Father John Misty, Feist, Future Islands, The Breeders, Julien Baker, and more will perform.

Listen to the new compilation, which features unreleased material, live recordings, and covers from Mitski, St. Vincent, Bon Iver, Sleater-Kinney, and more.

‘Sleep Well Beast’ finds The National at their most depressing, and makes some of the most radical changes to their post-‘Alligator’ sound, introducing synths, electronic drums, guitar solos, and more.

Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, and James McAlister brought their collaborative project ‘Planetarium’ to BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival in Prospect Park, along with a cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” and “Over the Rainbow.”

The ‘Planetarium’ group’s US shows start TONIGHT (7/18) in Prospect Park with Joan As Police Woman.
