The final notes of January have faded out, and here in the People’s Republic, it sounded … chaotic. We held space for our inner theater kid with the Wicked soundtrack, paid our respects to late hip-hop legend Mac Miller and got chopped and screwed with Oklahoma City slam-metal freaks Peeling Flesh. What’s the throughline between these bestselling new vinyl releases from Paradise Found Records and Music? Don’t ask us. It just sounds good.

While the Tallahassee-born folk artist’s 2022 breakout Preacher’s Daughter was haunted by echoes of the Southern Gothic tradition, darkness blooms in a whole new register on her stunning new album featuring heavy doses of ambient drone, religious trauma and guitarwork by Colorado’s own Midwife. – Jezy J.
