Minnesota native Alicia Bognanno and her band (I don't think the band's narrative has much to do with Minnesota, though).

Priests – Pink White House
Welcome to March. LET'S ROCK.
Young Fathers – Shame
I keep meaning to get around to listening to these guys' full catalog, and I keep putting it off somehow.
Ty Segall – Orange Color Queen
Pretty sure there are some Segall fans around here. Brand spankin' new track from his recent release.
the bird and the bee – Love Letter to Japan
If those dresses are one of their schticks, they're missing a major opportunity for a Power Rangers tie-in.
2009
The Strokes – Welcome to Japan
Let me try a little theme week here. Or, theme every-other-day-of-the-week.
The band still sounds pretty good to me. I dunno about Julian these days, though.
The xx – On Hold
Okay, we've celebrated a lot of 2016's best, but what about the best of 2017?
Here's one from The xx's soon to be released album.

Angel Olsen – Intern
Pitchfork just named Solange's A Seat at the Table, my favorite album of the year, as the best album of the year. So I'd play her, but I just did that like two weeks ago. Here's Angel Olsen singing the lovely, haunting "Intern." It's more than twice the length of the album version, which is cool.
Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam – A 1000 Times
FTLT (the citizen that alerted the citizenry to the likes of Alabama Shakes and Courtney Barnett long before everyone else figured it out, who also used to be a DJ, contributor, and frequent commenter as well as being known as somewhat of a basketball enthusiast (in the case that anyone is unfamiliar)) causally dropped a mention in a FMD a little bit back. I've learned to listen when the hitman does so.
A collaboration between the lead singer of The Walkmen and one of the main cogs of Vampire Weekend, their album is a whirling plunge through genres, eras, and textures, but all with a distinctly original sound that I hope they explore on another album or two. Anyway, this song has been between lowkey to rock-climber's grip stuck in my head for the past few weeks now.

Mitski – Your Best American Girl
I like it when we get into someone before everyone else does.
