Review: Latin Grammy-nominated artist Tim Bernardes made a striking entrance with his solo debut Recomecar, written during his time with Brazilian indie band O Terno. The album's haunting chamber pop soundscapes, filled with yearning lyrics and spontaneous emotion, set it apart from typical indie folk releases. Backed by lush orchestral arrangements, Recomecar feels deeply intimate yet expansive, offering a fresh take on melancholic songwriting. Bernardes' ability to merge indie sensibilities with rich, classical instrumentation makes this debut a standout, cementing his reputation as a unique voice in contemporary music.

Review: William Tyler stands as one of the most influential solo American guitarists of this century. Having played with Silver Jews and Lambchop, he's carved out a singular space for himself, with albums weaving country roots and classical influences with postmodern experimentation; he melds field recordings and static drifts for a sense of imminent boundlessness, recoverable just over the hill. Drawing on inspirations from Chet Atkins to Gavin Bryars, from electroacoustic abstraction to hypnotic boogie, Time Indefinite - his first solo album in five years - hears Tyler reimmerse himself in said sound, reflecting on the hiss, distortion, and rawness of a turbulent era. With eerie loops and luminous melodies, Time Indefinite is an essential soundtrack for fostering resilience.
