With her latest full-length for Northern Spy, Power Vibe, Steph Richards pushes further, marrying avant garde and cinematic moods with a kind of infectious and patently pleasing tunefulness.

Power Vibe is just as fascinating conceptually as it is aesthetically. The record –– as well as the eponymously named quartet –– is built around a series of musical cues that, when played, redirect all the players to move into a new structure. The trick is that any of the players can play one of these cues at any time, ensuring that the music unfolds in an even more radically democratic way than in totally open-ended improvised music performance. One might think of this as the “power vibe”: the power to redirect the entire band lies in the hands of each player, equally. It’s a cogent redistribution of power, one that Steph Richards and the band clearly revel in, and it gives the music a sense of open structural possibility.

While Richards’ virtuosity and boundless creativity is clearly on display here, pianist Joshua White, whose playing sometimes veers into McCoy Tyner rapture, and drummers Gerald Cleaver and Max Jaffe do more than simply support. Again, there is a sense of commitment and soulfulness that is bolstered by the redistribution of power. And Stomu Takeishi’s acoustic and electric bass guitar playing helps to push these tunes headlong into realms of groove and infectious kinesis that make it what it is: remarkable.

Allegra Krieger's delightful album ’Precious Thing’ is out today! To celebrate the release, Allegra has shared a self-directed music video for the title track that features her little sister dancing across her apartment. On ‘Precious Thing’, she tries to capture fleeting moments in a world that is sick from itself. With a voice that rings like a windchime signaling a storm coming, Allegra masterfully weaves together ephemeral moments as life barrels by her unforgivingly.

In the meditative and driving “Evergreen,” Renata Zeiguer sings of a transformative migration from her lifelong hometown NYC up to the Catskills 🌲 This track was the last to be recorded for Picnic in the Dark, symbolizing the trajectory of the album's journey, as well as the idea of leaving one concept of home behind in order to find home within oneself. Stream "Evergreen" & watch the cinematic music video by OTIUM → https://music.renatazeiguer.com/evergreen

SUSS's brand new 'Night Suite' EP is now streaming ↝ https://music.sussband.com/nightsuite This surprise release represents a drive through the night on U.S. Route 66, the flat stretch of road between Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Los Angeles. As the architects of the ambient-country sound, the band built the five tracks of ‘Night Suite’ with their unique combination of classic Americana instrumentation: pedal steel, National guitar, harmonica, and fiddle, interwoven with loops and synthesizers. Days after these tracks were completed, SUSS lost original member, synthesizer player, and filmmaker Gary Leib. This loss added a new, personal resonance to the music that Leib had such a large role in creating. ‘Night Suite’ represents the first part of a multi-release schedule SUSS has planned over the next 12 months that point the band toward new horizons.
