The first-ever collaborative album from Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton, Death Wish Blues is a body of work born from a shared passion for pushing the limits of blues music.

Gag Order is an album that finds the GRAMMY-nominated pop star, Kesha, excavating the deepest recesses of her soul to date. The record, which Kesha has labeled �post-pop� and was produced by Rick Rubin, is a full-bodied collection that flows like a stream of conscious journey through the psychedelic dark depths of the human psyche followed by basking in the cleansing light when finally reaching the surface.

Completing their seventh studio album was a hard-won victory for The Milk Carton Kids, but I Only See the Moon was worth the effort for Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan. �It feels like returning to something that�s natural and comfortable, and also just as inspiring and new as when we first met,� says Pattengale, who formed The Milk Carton Kids with Ryan in 2011.

What started as a three-week recording session in the fall of 2021, with Pattengale producing the contemporary folk duo himself for the first time, stretched into a monthslong project that found the pair digging deeper into their craft than ever before. With a new studio of their own in Los Angeles and the realization that they were in no hurry, The Milk Carton Kids took the time they needed to be fully satisfied with I Only See the Moon.

�I haven�t been as happy with the collection of songs that we�ve put on record probably since our first record, and it�s because of a lot of the lessons we�ve learned over the years, including giving yourself time and space,� Ryan says.The three-time Grammy nominees sound refreshed on 10 new songs distilled to the essence of The Milk Carton Kids: two voices blended together in spellbinding harmony, accompanied by subtly perfect acoustic instrumentation. Turns out that�s a tough sound to get just right, but I Only See the Moon shows just how much Pattengale and Ryan were willing to work for it.�

Recorded entirely on acoustic instruments,�and predominantly performed by Paul, Seven Psalms showcases Simon�s craft at its finest and most captivating, simply with his voice and guitar. Intended to be listened to as one continuous piece, the 33-minute, seven-movement composition transcends the concept of the �album".

A stunning, intricately layered work, it�s a record which establishes an engaging and meditative, almost hymnal soundscape, with Paul�s lyrics providing the gravitational center for constellations of sound woven from guitar strings and other acoustic instrumentation � including choral elements from the highly-regarded British vocal ensemble VOCES8, and a beautiful vocal appearance by Edie Brickell.

True to the origin of psalms as hymns meant to be sung rather than spoken, Seven Psalms reaches back to the very genesis of folk music: King David�s Psalms. The result is a quietly moving musical experience which uncovers a wealth of subtle details with every repeated listen. A step apart from anything Paul Simon has released before, Seven Psalmsdefies categorization.

The record�s tone is complemented by its artwork, which features a close-up extract of �Two Owls� by the celebrated landscape artist Thomas Moran.

Ghost follows last year�s international chart-topping opus IMPERA as intended from the start with PHANTOMIME, a diverse and spellbinding sampling of the GRAMMY Award-winning band�s musical DNA.

After more than a decade of non-stop touring, acclaimed Austin�songwriting duo,�Kelsey Wilson and�Alexander Beggins, quietly�stopped touring as�Wild Child. Headed in different sonic directions,�the pair didn't know if they would ever make another Wild Child�record. Then, what felt like the "end of the world" brought them back�together. Pandemic lockdowns closed stages and drained bank�accounts. As artists from all backgrounds took their shows to the�internet, Wild Child was no different. Wilson and Beggins got together�to practice for a series of online performances for devout fans, and�within 30 minutes they wrote the first single for what would�accidentally become Wild Child's fifth album,�End of the World.

Mixed by�Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, Elle King) and including�contributions from guitarist�Charlie Wiles (Paul Cauthen, John�Moreland, Orville Peck),�End of The World sees the pair find catharsis�in art amid compound disasters. As Wilson describes it, �I just started�signing about things that were freaking me out. Wearing a mask for a�year. Global warming. There's no heat, no water. It was like a dirge to�begin with. But by the end we were all screaming and laughing that,�yes, this might be the end of the world, but we're all together right�now, making music in my living room by candlelight. It's all OK."

Tanlines' first album for Merge. Eric Emm and Jesse Cohen make escapist, joyful-sounding songs about sad, insular moments and melancholy songs about catharsis and joy. The Big Mess is a deft and danceable exploration of what Emm calls "introspective masculinity," what thoughtful relationships look like between father and son, between friends, and between the individual and societal expectations. The Big Mess is for Tanlines fans old and new alike, those who've succumbed to their wry, winking brand of pop music in the past, and those looking to soundtrack a late night in the future.

Heavy grooves, metal guitar squeals, Italo disco bass, fantasia synth layers, and huge choruses stomp around sanguine pop drama.

I Am The Dog, the debut album from Sir Chloe�the project of vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Dana Foote�is slated for release May 19 via Atlantic Records.

Made with Grammy-winning producer John Congleton (Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) with songwriting contributions from Teddy Geiger (Caroline Polachek, Sylvan Esso, Lizzo) and Sarah Tudzin (Weyes Blood, Amen Dunes, Slowdive), I Am The Dog encapsulates the thrilling paradoxical nature of Sir Chloe. Thematically, the album grapples with finding control in the innate chaos of life, highlighting and interrogating this tension, only to destabilize it and opt for chaos once again. Anchored by Foote�s emotional and dynamic voice, the album toes the line between expression and concealment, making a fetish of the unsaid with lyrics that are simultaneously frank and ambiguous. With this constant push and pull propelling the album forward, Foote�s aim isn�t to be at rest but rather to ask why she cannot be.

Part experimental indie and part �70s soft rock, Califone�s first record in three years finds creative force Tim Rutili reaching new levels of harmony, fragility, and confidence. Whether detailing aging goths retaining their identity through year-long spooky decorations (�Halloween�), an imagined conversation with an inbred monarch (�Habsburg Jaw�), or the conflicts between identity and technology (�Ox-Eye�), Villagers� nine tracks spread out and luxuriates in the messy darkness of modern life. Like sitting in awe on the porch swing at the end of the world, Califone�s latest marvels at the edge of the universe spreading into the darkness of infinity. With 25 years of Califone in his catalog (not to mention a variety of other projects, including alt rock heroes Red Red Meat), the Chicago-born, Los Angeles-based knows well how to find that moment of awe and bliss even as things are falling apart. Part poet, part abstract painter, and always surrounded by a variety of hyper-talented collaborators (here including longtime cohorts Ben Massarella, Michael Krassner, Rachel Blumberg, and Brian Deck, as well as the likes of Nora O'Connor and Finom's Macie Stewart), Rutili has always excelled at luring listeners through elusive lyrics, flashes of shadows and images coming together in disarming unity.
