Canadian producer Dan Snaith returns to his Caribou alias to release ‘Suddenly’, a diverse patchwork of influences with pristine production, and tender vocals that perfectly match the record’s introspection. It’s the fifth Caribou album and a decade away from Snaith’s breakthrough release ‘Swim’, that marked his beginning as a festival stage favourite and propelled him from club dance floors. ‘Suddenly’ sees Snaith distill some of his best musical moments into a warped and feverish trip that changes from track to track, and sometimes within the very same track, a testament to his continued explorative attitude.

If you’re a fan of the soft vibrato of Julia Jacklin, Cat Power, and Angel Olsen, Chitra will fit nicely into your music library. On her self-titled EP, the Melbourne artist reaches a level of concise songwriting and balladry that’s way beyond her years, yet feels familiar and timeless. Chitra creates a world that’s both fragile and tough, while remaining cool-headed in the delivery of some intimate thoughts and confessions around longing and loss.
