The Mystery Lights

The first single is “Cicada,” which finds the band’s dreamy, twangy style sounding better than ever. The video, meanwhile, has fun with myriad soap opera tropes and is a lot of fun.

Plus: Waxahatchee/Hurray for the Riff Raff/Bedouine, Mina Caputo, Oneida, Between the Buried and Me, Black Angels + Black Lips, Preoccupations, The Movielife, and more.

Two singles are out, “Untitled God Song” and the doo wop-inspired “Oom Sha La La,” and both are truly excellent songs that have deservedly earned Haley a bit of hype. They sound a bit like Angel Olsen, but more because they likely share some of the same classic influences…
