“New Move II: Back In The Habit” by New Move

Portland’s New Move has opened up its self-titled album to reinterpretation from a slew of Portland artists, recasting each track with funk, hip-hop, soul and more. The new record will be released Jan. 26 at Mississippi Studios.

“Hang” by Foxygen

Foxygen’s new album sees the band taking an unexpected foray into symphonic orchestration. It’s certainly ambitious, but is it good?

“I Want To Be Your B” by Because

Melt the snow with the warm, feisty tunes of Because. It’s the new solo project from Radiation City’s Randy Bemrose.

Hamilton Leithauser

Touring a new album that’s draped in longing and his distinct, daring vocals, Hamilton Leithauser comes to Portland’s Star Theater on Jan. 20.

Lizzo

Lizzo has blended the beauty and grace of self-love and gospel with an otherworldly flow and masterful lyricism throughout her career, and it’s hard to say which direction she’ll take next.

American Wrestlers

American Wrestlers frontman Gary McClure continues his journey of self-discovery and lo-fi power with sophomore album “Goodbye Terrible Youth.” The band plays Jan. 25 at Bunk Bar.

Marching Church

Marching Church plays on Jan. 14 at Mississippi Studios. In this month’s Aural Fix section, we praise their genuine attempt at countercultural writing.
