Hehehe, I’m honestly really nitpick-y about guitar and bass sounds, and I dislike just about every tonal choice made by the stringed instruments in this recording. But damn, that woman defines having vocal range and flexibility. The drummer isn’t half bad either, and my disagreements with the stringed instrument sounds are ones of taste. Thankya!
Gerard Way has also written several comic book series.
I’m not sure she qualifies as a new artist since her first album came out in 2007 but I’ve started listening to St. Vincent in the last year.

Been listening to a bit of Zuzu lately
I love Lake Street Dive, though they’re arguably better as a cover band than for their original songs. Check out their take on “Don’t Let Me Down,” complete with a tribute to the Beatles’ final rooftop gig:
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss released their 2nd collaborative album in late 2021.
Raising the Roof is a follow up from their Grammy winning album Raising Sand in 2007.
I’m impressed Robert and Alison waited for the right material before returning to the studio.
Both albums are excellent and I play them regularly. T-Bone Burnett produced them.
Well, this thread has got me exploring some recent music for the first time in awhile.
Here’s another band I came across that I was unfamiliar with, UV-TV:
I do have to say, with this, Wet Leg, and somewhat IDLES, I’m gravitating towards stuff that feels firmly entrenched in Gen X music. It’s great; it’s fun; but I have a feeling I’m listening to “Dad rock” or something like that. (Not that it really matters, but I just have this odd feeling.)
I figure that, if the singers/bands are in their 20s, it counts as young people music to me even if the style is reminiscent of some earlier era.
Or, to flip it the other way, if there’s a bunch of kids out there making music I like then more power to me!
'Nother singer/songwriter
Broadly I agree. But have you seen this (which is an original):
Great Og on a pogo stick, can Rachael Price can sing?
As to the OP, Joshua Lee Turner (and Carson McKee) and Sarah Jarosz are two current faves of mine. But to be fair, their style is quite traditional, so I can’t claim to listen to much “modern” music.
Oh, Rachael Price’s voice is gold with honey on it, no doubt. And Sarah Jarosz is cool too, and also someone with a good ear for a cover. I love her version of “Shankill Butchers.”
