Song: Eat Your Young
Artist: Hozier
Album: Eat Your Young EP
Release: March 2023
Hozier explores the morality of sin and indulgence through poetic storytelling on “Eat Your Young.” The EP precedes an upcoming album Unreal Unearth, in which many of the 18 tracks will explore themes of sin, self-knowledge and greed as Hozier alludes to Dante’s “Inferno.”

 

 

Song: Weightless
Artist: Arlo Parks
Album: My Soft Machine
Release: January 2023
Arlo Parks had this to say to introduced upcoming album My Soft Machine: “The world/our view of it is peppered by the biggest things we experience – our traumas, upbringing, vulnerabilities almost like visual snow. This record is life through my lens, through my body – the mid 20s anxiety, the substance abuse of friends around me, the viscera of being in love for the first time, navigating PTSD and grief and self sabotage and joy, moving through worlds with wonder and sensitivity- what it’s like to be trapped in this particular body.”

 

Song: The Way
Artist: Manchester Orchestra
Album: The Valley of Vision
Release: March 2023
“I think I’m losing my mind,” lead singer Andy Hull admits in “The Way.” Like the rest of the album, the song strays from Manchester Orchestra’s tried-and-true heavy guitar rock in favor of piano, but Hull’s lyricism remains as dark as ever. “Trying to watch my obstacles/ See how fully I’ve been broke/ Let me start again,” he sings.

 

 

Song: Kid
Artist:
The Revivalists
Album:
Pour It Out Into The Night
Release:
February 2023

In the wake of the events of January 6th, 2021, The  Revivalists’ Zack Feinberg and David Shaw found themselves writing about the clutter of the world, and how to block it out. Out of these hard-to-navigate feelings, they created “Kid.” “It’s about being in the spirit of the now and not letting outside distractions or past traumas steal you away from the moment,” David Shaw says of the new track.
