Joanna Newsom is currently in the midst of her “Strings/Keys” residency at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles. During her matinee performance on Saturday (May 18th), the singer-songwriter played a set filled with children’s songs and debuted a new composition titled “Rovenshere.”
Newsom had advertised the Saturday show as “not only suitable for children, but specifically designed with them in mind,” which meant playing covers of “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” and Jim Henson’s “Tadpole” and “The Frogs in the Glen” while accompanied by puppeteers.

To close out the concert, however, Newsom treated the audience to the live debut of “Rovenshere,” which features fanciful lyrics like, “Our love is in the very ground/ And suspended in the air/ O’er the land of Rovenshere.” Watch the fan-shot video below.
Elsewhere during her residency, Newsom has been joined on stage by Robin Pecknold and Amber Coffman.

When the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees take the field for Game One of the American League Championship Series tonight, Johnnie B. Baker Jr. — affectionately known as “Dusty” because, as a child, he loved to play in the alluvial dirt of Riverside, California — will be there. As the Astros’ manager places that first, fresh toothpick in his mouth and sets foot on the lightly moisturized dirt of Minute Maid Park, we’ll all have the great honor of watching the man who many say co-invented the high five continue his long,...

Sleigh Bells, the veteran noise-pop band, is at a crossroads. The band is preparing for a grand fall tour — but with each day of grim news about surging Covid cases and the virus’s Delta variant, the pros and cons of the plan shift further, says the group’s manager Will Hubbard.
The band can’t risk an outbreak right now; after so long without putting on shows, a few missed tour dates could be the difference between profit and a huge loss. So the band will most likely require...

Editors’ Pick: Deafheaven, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love
“Deafheaven fancy themselves as a modern-day Bad Brains, but instead of blending hardcore punk and reggae, they combine vicious black metal with expansive space rock,” writes Kory Grow. “Now they’ve returned to their original muse and are splitting the difference between the battering-ram riffage of Darkthrone and the sparkly, soaring melodies of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky…. It sounds much more organic this time, too, as the styles blend in and out of each other like a lava lamp.”

Last year’s self-titled LP recast Dirty Projectors as Dave Longstreth’s one-man-avant-pop-band. This suggested two possible blueprints going forward — the other branded on 2009’s Bitte Orca by the gorgeously ping-ponging vocals of his former bandmates Amber Coffman and Angel Deradoorian. For Lamp Lit Prose, Longstreth melds both strategies in a flood of ideas and magnificent vocal arrangements. The results are by turns dazzling and exhausting.
Partly it’s is an issue of balance. The best moments of Bitte Orca and Swing Lo Magellan are at core collective. Here, the spotlight stays on Longstreth,...
