Well folks, this is it… my official last Charts & Adds post before I pass on the music director mantle. Despite everything wacky that has happened this year, I have so enjoyed writing these weekly posts \u2014 not-so-funny introductions and all. I hope they have brought some of you out there the same amount of joy. Without further ado, here is our final(s week) edition of C&A for spring 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 5 Charts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1.) Peach Pit \u2013\u00a0You and Your Friends<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peach Pit get emotional throughout the album with a sad-pop spin over bubblegum-surf rock melodies. Every song acts as an individual story with an individual world. Whether they\u2019re detailing heartbreak, social distancing, or companionship,\u00a0Peach\u00a0Pit\u00a0remain meticulous and descriptive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Heaven<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2.) Yves Tumor \u2013\u00a0Heaven to a Tortured Mind<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few projects at the forefront of contemporary art truly push visceral sonic boundaries in the way that Yves Tumor does on Heaven To A Tortured Mind<\/em>. Yves has steered the project into a whole new realm; piercing through contradiction, redefining expression through song, and catapulting the project into the next phase of illusion and evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3.) Thundercat – It Is What It Is<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One funky dude,\u00a0Thundercat\u00a0has created another deliriously groovy and hilarious odyssey of funk, R&B, jazz and hip hop, featuring Steve Lacy, Flying Lotus, Childish Gambino and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4.) Anna Burch \u2013\u00a0If You\u2019re Dreaming<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With recurring themes of isolation, weariness and longing, Anna Burch\u2019s songs deliver an emotional arc with a delicate but uncompromising execution. Burch\u2019s intrinsically catchy songwriting dials down the urgency of her debut a notch, taking a turn towards airy, jazz-voiced chords, floating reverb and an expansion of the sonic palate with unexpected instrumentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5.) Music Band – Celebration<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trust built between\u00a0Music Band members Harry Kagan,\u00a0Lee Putney, and\u00a0Duncan Shea\u00a0comes from a bond of friendship that feels rare among young rock and roll bands. They spent years self-booking, self-recording and self-promoting, creating an invaluable work ethic. And perhaps the most important factor is that je ne sais quoi: a mixture of sincerity and never taking themselves too seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
