Nite Jewel: No Sun [Gloriette]

Los Angeles musician Ramona Gonzalez follows her 2017 Nite Jewel album Real High with No Sun, a record inspired by Gonzalez’s research on women’s musical lament practices from her Ph.D studies in musicology at UCLA. The album arrives after the dissolution of Gonzalez’s 12-year marriage, and “questions and remodels the archetype of female pain,” as she put it in press materials. Read Pitchfork’s review of the single “Before I Go.”

Marisa Anderson / William Tyler: Lost Futures [Thrill Jockey]

Bendik Giske: Cracks [Smalltown Supersound]

Cracks is the second album from Oslo-born, Berlin-based saxophonist and composer Bendik Giske, following his 2019 debut Surrender. The five-song album includes lead single “Flutter,” which Giske shared alongside a Kiani del Valle–directed music video. The new record is a collaboration between Giske and producer André Bratten. “The tracks wedge themselves into the cracks of our perceived reality to explore them for their beauty,” Giske said in press materials, adding that Cracks is “a celebration of corporeal states and divergent behaviours.”
