Here is a short, breezy track that just dropped, "WRITHING IN THE WIND."

orlando in love
The much-anticipated new album from Japanese Breakfast is scheduled to drop March 21st.
Their new track, "Orlando in Love," per press release is "a riff on John Cheever’s riff on Orlando Innamorato, an unfinished epic made up of 68 ½ cantos by the Renaissance poet Matteo Maria Boiardo—the hero is a well meaning poet who parks his Winnebago by the sea and falls victim to a siren’s call."

jeffery berg's top 10 albums of 2024!
Here goes my Top 10 Albums of 2024!
10.
Stellar musicianship! Stirring and delightfully volatile.
9.
Impressively-mounted (especially for a debut!), operatic, wide-ranging rock record.
8.
Smooth, dreamy, Sade-esque tracks from Glasgow-based ambient pop trio.
7.
Legendary producer / DJ crafts a rich, enveloping piano boogie dance album. "Fly Away," a partial cover of Stevie Wonder's "As", soars.
6.
Big, sweeping, melodic synthpop tunes from the Los Angeles duo.
5.
Clubby, earworm glo-pop ride for an increasingly automated world.
4.
Fun, spicy confection from the French electro-swing group.
3.
Starts off with a bang with the riveting "American Requiem," then nestles into one of the great Beatles' covers. A diverse, rambling epic, a reclamation of and play with genre.
2.
A hooky, sparkly, and disarmingly affecting album.
1.
Pet Shop Boys are still going strong with this unclockable set of fresh, wise, melancholic dance-pop disco.

Toxic masculinity crusher.

Crystalline electropop perfection.

Haunted, cheery pop-rock.
