Top 5 Charts:
1.) Maita – Best Wishes
Maita is often compared to artists that KJHK loves––and rightfully so. This is the groups debut album and they have already earned a lot of attention, particularly thanks to Maria Maita-Keppeler’s vulnerable and beautiful lyricism.
2.) Phoebe Bridgers – Punisher
If you haven’t heard this one then you should do yourself a favor and go give it a listen. Phoebe Bridgers proves herself once again with another gorgeous project. Check out KJHK’s review of the album!
3.) Tenci – My Heart is an Open Field
Tenci followed up her 2019 project with My Heart is an Open Field and fans were not at all disappointed. Anyone who is a fan of folk or “bedroom” music will get a kick out of Tenci.
4.) Mini Trees – Slip Away
Heartwarming, lo-fi, emotional, and relatable––what more could you want from an EP?
5.) Retirement Party – Runaway Dog
Retirement Party charts for their second week in a row! Those who love instrumentals should definitely check this one out. Behind those instrumentals are a lot of emotional and powerful lyrics.
