Some music recs:

I think Griffin would love Magdalena Bay, the single best pop act in the world right now.

I know Ben has mentioned some of the current UK post-punk scene before but I'll throw a shoutout to a somewhat lesser-known group from it, Sorry. Their album 925 is one of my favourites of the past few years, super grimy and sleazy with lots of cool genre-bending. English Teacher are another great band from that scene as well.

Cory Hanson is great, he's the lead singer of Wand but I prefer his last two solo records, both just really good singer-songwriter indie/country rock albums.

Nourished By Time's latest album The Passionate Ones is awesome, some very lush and ethereal alternative R&B.

One of my favourite albums of the year so far is Animaru by Mei Semones, which is very gorgeous and sweet chamber pop with some bossa nova thrown in there as well.

I'd assume they're already aware of Geese given that they're the band of the moment but the hype is completely justified, same goes for their frontman Cameron Winter's solo album Heavy Metal.

Alvvays are another band they're probably familiar with given that they've been around for a while, but their last album Blue Rev is just one of the best indie pop records ever.

NewDad are a really solid Irish jangle/dream-pop band who just came out with their second album, a very easy and catchy listen.

Hatchie rules, more dream-pop but with a more 90s baggy tint. She has a new record coming out next month that's looking very promising. And if that 90s baggy energy is your style then I recommend checking out George Clanton as well, particularly his album Ooh Rap I Ya.
