Ben Seretan

HBO's Animals featured cameos from Dinosaur Jr, Killer Mike, Kurt Vile, A$AP Rocky, Kim Gordon and more, so it should be no surprise that co-creator Phil Matarese is a huge music fan. Here's his Top 10 of 2020.

From legendary lifers like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Bill Fay to great newer artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Waxahatchee, Jason Isbell, and Bonny Light Horseman, here are 20 folk albums we love from this year so far...

Listen to new songs by Actress, Maliibu Miitch, Holy Motors, A Girl Called Eddy, Lightning Dust, Gladie, BERWYN, Devendra Banhart, R.I.P., Ben Seretan, Lido Pimienta remixed by Austra, and more...

Ben shot the unique video in the Rockaways by putting large mirrors in the sand, right around the time the COVID-19 fears started to escalate but before the full lockdown began.

With so many people stuck at home and major album releases getting delayed, we need new music now more than ever, so here are 25 albums already released this year that we love.

Our February 2020 playlist includes songs by Pop Smoke, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten, Grimes, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Bad Bunny, The Radio Dept, Perfume Genius, Waxahatchee, Jason Isbell, Pictish Trail, Gouge Away, Caribou, and more.

Tons of great albums are out today, and to turn your attention towards yet another: NYC musician Ben Seretan released his third solo LP, and it's clearly a very special album...

There are also release shows for the 50-song compilation happening in NYC and Chicago, with proceeds from both shows and sales of the comp going to various organizations.

Chicago punks The Sueves have been ripping it up for the better part of this decade, partying in the gutter with end-of-the-world abandon (something we can relate to lately).

DIIV continue their Market Hotel run, plus Migos, Prince Rama, Marc Ribot, Rangda, and more.
