It’s Pitchfork Music Festival week, and once again I’m happy to provide comprehensive coverage of one of the greatest music festivals in existence. We’ve already kicked things off with a playlist of every artist on the lineup, and a closer look at the time slot matchups for Friday. Keep an eye out here on the site over the next few days for additional preview coverage, recaps of each day, and a final summary packed with highlights and photos.
As for today’s important Pick Your Poison business, there’s plenty of wonderful new music for you to enjoy. Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes will be releasing a solo album soon, and she’s shared a new song that feels like a timeless classic. Devon Welsh may have moved on from Majical Cloudz a couple of years ago, but he’s still making music under his own name. Hear a fresh track from him below. And Luke Temple, who you might know from Here We Go Magic or even his pseudonym Art Feynman, has a solo record on the way this fall and you can get a taste of it right now. Keep going past the jump and discover even more new music from artists such as Cosmos & Creature, Deorro, Gnar, Lil West, MF Tomlinson, QUIX & Adventure Club (ft. badXchannels), Rhys Lewis, Shura, and Zilo.
