The National’s Matt Berninger made his second solo album, Get Sunk, round his transfer from Los Angeles to Connecticut. After a interval of writers’ block—and a way he was “drowning” in his personal voice—he cracked open a brand new songwriting idiom, earlier than assembling musicians together with Booker T. Jones, Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy, Nationwide touring member Kyle Resnick, and members of the Walkmen, principally recording with Berninger in a basement. “Our coronary heart’s are like previous wells crammed with pennies and worms,” he stated of the album’s themes. “I can’t resist happening to the underside of mine to see what else is there. However typically you may get your self caught.”

Shura: I Received Too Unhappy for My Mates [Play It Again Sam]
Shura glides between rallying and confessional synth-pop on I Got Too Sad for My Friends, the six-years-coming follow-up to Forevher. The British singer-songwriter applies her lithe pop sensibility to matters akin to social anxiousness, pandemic isolation, and, as ever, the tumult of affection on the Luke Smith–produced album, which options visitor turns from Cassandra Jenkins, Helado Negro, and Becca Mancari.
