TOPS
TOPS — musicians David Carriere, Jane Penny, Marta Cikojevic, and Riley Fleck — write timeless music that reliably threads immediacy and depth. Bury the Key, their first full-length since 2020 and with new label home Ghostly International, is a captivating reintroduction for the Montréal band: ever refined, undoubtedly masters of their melodic craft yet unafraid of evolving and testing themselves against different, at times darker tones. The album faces feelings once locked away, engaging the give-and-take between happiness, hedonism, and self-destruction. While often inhabited by fictional figures, their glowing, grooving, self-produced songs draw from personal observations: intimacy (both inside and outside the band), toxic behavior, drug use, and apocalyptic dread. When recording started, they noticed a shift and leaned in, jokingly dubbed "evil TOPS," says Penny. "We're always kind of seen as a soft band or like naive or friendly in a Canadian way, but we made it a challenge to really channel the world around us." Through the lens of a looming epoch and the clarity that comes with age, TOPS dip into a more sinister disco realm with Bury the Key, giving their soft-focus sophisti-pop a sharpened edge.

CORNELIA MURR
Cornelia’s Murr’s newest album began with a question: What do I want? The answer is everything, and it’s never felt more urgent.
On her first LP in six years, Run To The Center, out February 28, 2025 on 22Twenty, the London-born singer-songwriter delivers her most confident, expansive album yet. Across 10 hypnotic pop songs is a fully realized portrait of a woman and an artist in her thirties, standing triumphantly in uncertainties, asking the crucial questions one needs to sustain a life: How can you fit everything you want into a life? How can you do this if you want so much?
Run To The Center, which Murr will tour internationally next year, is her first release since her self-produced, six-track EP Corridor in 2022 and her first LP since her 2018 debut Lake Tear of the Clouds, produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket. For years, Murr tried to make another LP, but extraneous forces kept getting in the way, whether economic or global.
But in the spring of 2023, Murr started working with prolific producer Luke Temple (Adrienne Lenker, Hand Habits), adding to her impressive list of collaborators, which includes Rodrigo Amarante, Alice Boman, Reverend Baron, and Oracle Sisters among many others. Temple was an old friend whom she had met in New York more than a decade prior. Finally, forces coalesced for them to work together. The result is a sweeping album of Murr’s most spectral and tender pop yet, born of a need to excavate her desires and experience of time, both in new songs born spontaneously out of an easy collaboration with Temple, as well as older songs that, for years, had been knocking around in her brain.
Run To the Center is the most updated expression of who Murr is now, both sonically and emotionally, particularly as questions around artmaking have become more urgent for her over the better part of the last decade.
“As a young person you’re free to wander. There's a lot of power in that,” Murr says. “But there's an incredible sense of urgency that has snuck up on me. All of a sudden it feels like I must define my life in some major ways. Am I going to be a mother or not? If so, who am I going to do that with? If so, where am I going to do that? How am I going to afford that? Meanwhile, this feels like the most important time to devote to my work. Life these days is seemingly asking for my commitment to what can feel like contradictory things.”
But from urgency comes purpose: Run To The Center is an explosion that sounds like an exhale: the delicate, ethereal beauty of Murr’s music is fortified by a new sonic strength, expressed in more muscular production than Murr’s last releases, including louder drums and bouncier synths.The album swirls with a sparse and hazy futurism, exploring life’s biggest questions with the assurance of someone comfortable basking in its uncertainties.
While writing the record, Murr did literally run to the center, that is, of the 48 contiguous United States, where she hunkered down in the 948-person town of Red Cloud, Nebraska while restoring an abandoned house. Music flowed out of her during this monastic period of stripping wallpaper in a derelict construction zone in the middle of nowhere. In the last place she expected, she was able to gain a vantage point of her own life and ultimately locate her own center, a grounding force that was inside of her the whole time. “Working on this old house as if it’s my body/If I take care of it it’ll take care if of me/Stripping leaves off the centuries/Maps of other worlds obscured destinies,” she sings on the title track with a delicate nerve, like tapping a champagne glass with the tine of a fork before making a toast. She may not have answers to all the big questions, but for Murr, the beauty is in being able to ask.
Murr and Temple began working together at Temple’s apartment in Pasadena, then recorded with bassist Shane McKillop and drummer Kosta Galanopoulos at a studio in Long Beach. When Murr moved to Nebraska in the summer of 2023, Temple came out to join her. She had set up a bare bones recording rig, and there they finished all the arrangements together. While Murr’s past albums, with her signature soft voice and celestial production, have been described as “dreamy,” the multilayered, revved up production of Run To The Center sounds more like waking up.
When Murr recorded Lake Tear of the Clouds, she had barely performed as a solo artist but rather had backed up other artists for years. That album marked a pivotal change in her life: the shift where she decided to focus on her own music, a shift of intention and identity. If Murr’s first album was about unveiling her own voice in music, her latest record is about exploring that commitment.
The album’s radiant, seasoned production is on particular display in lead single “How Do You Get By?”, which explores the brass tacks of life, asking real questions around the economics and the personal currencies that drive you, whether it be money, fame, or spirituality. “In the dream I asked you it seemed kinda rude/But in the light of day I’m going to/How do you get by,” Murr sings.
“I've found that people who seem to have wealth in one way are seeking it in another,” Murr says. “The song starts with curiosity in others, but it's also asking yourself: What is it that sustains you? What do we need from each other?
For all her sweeping questions, Murr brings humor to her songs. “Bless Yr Lil Heart” is at once a tongue-and-cheek and earnest cry in response to our unstoppable mercurial whims and urges. “Tell me how am I ever gonna make a real life/Wanting everything at the same time,” Murr sings in a closing stanza that’s as soothing as it is cathartic. After all this time, Murr has arrived, standing fully in her power.

WILLIE NILE
The New York Times called Buffalo, NY born Willie Nile "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years." Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash” and “the unofficial poet laureate of New York City”. His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” His single from that album, “One Guitar,” was the “Top Pick of the Week” in USA Today.
Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Jim Jarmusch, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises.
His album, American Ride, won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the Independent Music Awards. It appeared on dozens of year-end Top Ten lists for 2013 and was voted “Album Of The Year” by Twangville Magazine. Bono called it, “One of the great guides to unraveling the mystery that is the troubled beauty of America.”
In November 2014 he released an album of piano-based songs, If I Was A River, to great critical acclaim.
MOJO wrote about his 2016 album World War Willie, “Four Stars! The real thing…stomp-‘til-ready rock’n’roll…timeless fare.” It won Album of the Year Reader’s Poll from Twangville Magazine and made numerous top ten lists for Album of the Year.
His album Positively Bob: Willie Nile Sings Bob Dylan from 2017 was hailed as “one of the best Dylan tribute albums ever made.” Powerpop Magazine wrote: “Astoundingly great…must be heard to be believed. If this doesn’t get your blood flowing, seek medical help.” And the Associated Press said his 2018 album Children Of Paradis, which also won Twangville’s Album of the Year Reader’s Poll, “Might be the best album of his career!”
Willie has toured across the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr. As the induction program from the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame says: “His live performances are legendary.” His 2020 album New York At Night got rave reviews, with The Associated Press calling it: “As sharp and guitar-driven as ever…the fire within Nile, once a peer of The Replacements and The Clash, continues to light a similar torch…anthemic…custom made for these times.” Downbeat Magazine calling it a “sonic love letter to Gotham.”
His recent studio album The Day The Earth Stood Still features a duet with Steve Earle on the song “Blood On Your Hands.” The London Times called him “A man who embodies the true spirit of rock n’ roll.” The New Yorker wrote that Willie Nile is “One of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past 30 years.”
In the fall of 2022 Willie released a single, “Wake Up America”, a duet with Steve Earle. It’s a call for the better angels of the country to stand up and be counted.
His live album “Willie Nile – Live At Daryl’s House Club” released in April 2024 was listed as one the “Best Rock Albums of the Year’ in Classic Rock Magazine. PowerPop magazine wrote: "A life-changer -- recorded at a moment when Willie & Company happened to be the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world!"
Willie is currently working on a new studio album for a June 2025 release. He will be touring in Europe and in North America this year and lives in New York City.

DOGS IN A PILE
Something organic has been blooming from Asbury Park, New Jersey, and is now making its way around the world. Dogs In A Pile, a band of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitless chops, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys of psychedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll.
This is one of the busiest touring bands of today, averaging 130 live shows per year since 2022. The road has become their creative engine, generating a rapidly growing catalog of original tunes. Distroid, the band’s newest album, is a 10-song collection featuring long-awaited studio versions of some of the Dogs’ most beloved repertoire.
Dogs In A Pile is guitarist Jimmy Law, guitarist Brian Murray, keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan, bassist Sam Lucid, and drummer Joe Babick. In addition, the Dogs In A Pile community includes the Dog Pound, the group’s extended family of fans across the country.
Besides being a lyric from the Grateful Dead song, “He’s Gone,” the name “Dogs In A Pile” is an apt description of the five-piece band’s stylistic breadth. The sonic image it conjures is a heap of storyteller Americana, bluegrass, jazz improvisation, eccentric instrumental excursions, pop-rock sophistication, and deep-pocket grooves, ranging from funk to Latin to reggae and beyond.
Distroid features material that has already become staples of the band’s live show. These studio renditions have afforded the group a chance to present the compositions just how they envision them. Distroid offers a cross-section of the Dogs In A Pile essence, tight and tuneful four-minute funk and jazz informed psych-rock songs, and then sprawling 15-minute compositions with intricate unison lines, agile genre-jumping, and dazzling improvisation.

Nation of Language
Four years on from the release of their unexpectedly self-assured debut album, NYC based Nation of Language have attracted a rapidly growing international audience via their danceable and impassioned take on new wave, post-punk & shoegaze genres. Following the critical acclaim of their their first LP Introduction, Presence, its 2021 follow-up A Way Forward pushed them to a wider audience—landing them their late-night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and a string of sold out tours—and their 2023 record Strange Disciple has continued this momentum, landing Rough Trade’s coveted #1 album of the year spot. Now a mainstay atop lists of the best live acts of recent years, the band continue to charge synth-first into their latest chapter as a major festival draw at recent iterations of Austin City Limits Festival, Desert Daze, Pitchfork Festival, Primavera Sound, Corona Capital, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo and many others.

RJD2
ft JEL
With the same care he combines sound sources into songs, RJD2 has stitched together an
impressive career out of many projects: instrumental albums, international tours, credits for
Mos Def, MF DOOM, Phonte, producing the theme for Mad Men, and beyond. The Columbus,
OH producer titled his new album Visions Out of Limelight in honor of his comfortable
place in the underground and his "self-imposed exile" at work on the tracks. For his latest
instrumental LP, the producer found inspiration in sources that can be taken for granted by
less-discerning listeners.
Thanks to time at home with his son, RJD2 was completely immersed in the TV theme
songs of the '70s, '80s, and '90s. "I realized how incredibly composed and skillfully
complex many of them were. These songs contained a few core tenets: a great groove, a
great chord change, a strong melody, and a concise time frame," he says. "It made me
realize how hard it is to make instrumental music with a melody that's as memorable as a
lead vocal."
The producer was also determined to build tracks around interesting basslines, inspired by
classic parts in Dr. Dre's "Deep Cover," KMD's "Black Bastards," and [Diamond D example].
It was a deliberate change from the chord-centric compositions in post-millennial hip-hop
and funk. It became a "mini-mission" for the producer to make a modern album that puts
the bass in the forefront of the songs.
Both approaches align on single "Catch The Exit Door," as electric bass percolates up and
down the neck under wah-wah guitars and horns straight out of a syndicated cop drama.
"Through It All" features crooning from English vocalist Jamie Lidell, pondering his
existence over piano stabs and a steady breakbeat. Frequent collaborator Jordan Brown
flexes his paranoid android falsetto to fit the loose groove of "Fools at the Haul" with
robotic precision.
Some songs were recorded with live instrumentation while others were chopped and reassembled via sampler "like the olden days," RJD2 says. "I still to this day appreciate the
radical shift in mindstate inspired by constructing a song with bits of found sound."
Good luck figuring out which drums are live or samples. With 15+ years of studio
experience, the producer has developed a combination of mic placement, technique, tuning
and gain staging to get drum sounds that evoke the same grit and urgency of classic hiphop breakbeats. "You either run out of great drum samples, or you spend the bulk of your
creative time chasing new ones, to varying degrees of success," he says. "The finite nature
of great drum samples has pushed me further into honing my drumming game."
RJD2 has a wide range of Visions: "Wild For The Night"'s aggro horn loop was inspired by
the legendary Bomb Squad, while "What I Do, Man" and "Asphalt Lamentations" were
inspired by French touch house of Daft Punk and Ed Banger Records. At proper volume, the
full album evokes the thrift-shop psychedelia of Paul's Boutique.
And the producer really did bury himself up to his neck in the dirt [where?] for the album
art.
"Album covers have become my opportunity to do something fun in the real world," he
says. It's a dual homage to Funkadelic's Maggot Brain and Redman's Dare Iz A Darkside,
two artists with enduring catalogs of no-bullshit, rock-solid music. RJD2 aspires to create a
similar body of work, from his 2002 opus Deadringer to 2020's The Fun Ones on to the
future.
"I have come to terms with the fact that the most impactful and lasting effort I can put
forth in my limited time on Earth is to leave behind the best music I can, not for the sake of
pitching 'me,' but for the sake of the music itself," he says. "The timeless nature of recorded
music and its ability to touch an unknown future listener makes it as close to a worthy
endeavor as I'll ever attempt." Visions Out of Limelight channels RJD2's many influences
into another incredible instrumental album, and it just might be a classic one day too. -Jack
