Roots run deep and strange this season: Wholesale Angel Market explores desolation, redemption, and the animal instincts lurking in our rooms on their haunting debut, while Elly Kace channels ambient bluegrass for the reclamation of the divine feminine. Kathodos conjures dark ritual chants, and Brian Jin wanders from Hawaiian-cowboy-ukulele-jazz to dream-born Gospel on an album "God laughed" them into making. The Tremaines offer a dreamy love song written during a hurricane, and The Male Pattern previews his funny, violent, narrative Americana concept album — ugly, weird, and gloriously unworkshopped.
