In the lead-up to Temple Songs, Laura Veirs<\/a> shared a video<\/a>, for the jazzy folk earworm \u201cPulse,\u201d in which she was cream-pied in the face, got showered in a hail of silly string, and\u2014after a good and proper warm-up\u2014deadlifted 110 pounds. Those are just a few of many herculean feats that went into the Found Light<\/a> follow-up. Veirs wrote, recorded, arranged, produced, and performed the album herself, across three months in her backyard studio, using only acoustic instruments. (The one exception is saxophone by a secret special guest.) \u201cI needed to make this album to connect more deeply with my taste, aesthetics, and confidence,\u201d she says in press materials. \u201cEventually I found a flow\u2014seeing the studio again, for the first time since my 20s, as a private place for exploration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hovvdy: Big World [Arts & Crafts]\"Image<\/p>\n

In the nine years since their debut album, Taster<\/a>, the typical Hovvdy<\/a> song has evolved from a slowcore curio to a sort of waterlogged, would-be pop hit, increasingly irresistible but still transmitted like a secret broadcast to buried-treasure hunters. Big World invites you to keep digging: Foggy indie-pop earworms like \u201cBlast\u201d and \u201cTry Try Try\u201d seem precision-tooled not to be unforgettable but tantalisingly half-remembered, while the ballads use effortless, meandering melodies that would otherwise scan as Grammy bait to draw you deeper into their ineffable ambient textures.<\/p>\n
