This week in the Basement: reviews of new albums from Modern Cosmology (Lætitia Sadier of Stereolab), Westerman, LA Priest, SQÜRL (Jim Jarmusch & Carter Logan), The Lemon Twigs, Flasher and more.

'End of Everything‘ is out May 19 and is Mega Bog‘s first album for Mexican Summer. Contributors include Big Thief‘s James Krivchenia, Hand Habits and Westerman.

Like the album's previously-released single ”Idol; RE-run,” ”CSI: Petralona” was co-produced by Westerman and Big Thief's James Krivchenia.

This is Westerman‘s first new music in two years, and it was co-produced by Big Thief‘s James Krivchenia.

The folk quartet played songs from their double album 'Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You,' plus an unreleased song they play live called "Happiness."

Listen to new songs by Pink Mountaintops (Black Flag cover), Devil Master, Mister Goblin, Parquet Courts, Patrick Watson, Katy J Pearson, Yann Tiersen, and more.

Listen to new songs from Madonna/Fireboy DML, Thou, Mall Grab, ODESZA, Tourist, Charlotte Adigery & Bolis Pupul, Sam France (Foxygen), Karen Dalton, James Krivchenia (Big Thief), and more

Big Thief's new 20-song double album finds them at their most whimsical and their most serious, their most experimental and their most down-to-earth. It's the most sprawling, ambitious thing they've done.

Big Thief are back with their first new music since 2019.

The new album from Big Red Machine, the collaborative project of Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner, is out later this month.
