Their respective masteries of both these poles are indebted to their current city of residence (New York) and their hometown (Los Angeles). Dual frontwomen Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten's catchy guitar angularity and soothing vocal smoothness have made them rising indie stars, and they'll hitch their wagon to two alt-supernovae this year, joining Wet Leg on the west coast leg of their American tour next month and Snail Mail on the east coast and midwest over the summer, with a few solo shows and a gig with Illuminati Hotties in England in between.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIn a year filled with things we didn’t want to think about, there were few more indulgent escapes than music books. Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to write and publish them, in a year when record and book stores were closed and, worst of all, music fans were deprived of concerts and will be for at least several months to come — a feeling that, as one friend described it today, “is like being deprived of an essential nutrient.” But like live albums and livestreams, books brought us at least a little closer to the sensations we miss so much.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorWhen it comes to music, TikTok is not your usual platform, so it’s not surprising that its first year-end report has a different approach.

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor“I never believe an Avalanches album is coming until I actually see it,” a friend said when discussing the group’s third album in 20 years — and it’s hard to blame her.In 2000, the Australian trio released its debut album, “Since I Lost You,” arguably the greatest masterpiece of sampling art since the Beastie Boys’ Dust Brothers-helmed 1989 landmark, “Paul’s Boutique.” The album was meticulously crafted from more than 3,500 vinyl samples and remains a unique audio adventure that ranges from ambient bliss to a sensation similar to being between two or three loud parties going on simultaneously (and somehow in synch).
