I’ve been thinking a lot about turn of the 20th century Black music a lot lately cause I dug into it while writing my book. Jason Moran’s James Reese Europe project is one template for engaging with it today. This is another.

🎭 ANNOUNCING:
Ragger - 𝙀𝙪𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨
out 2/10/26

On their debut album, the duo of Marc Riordan and Jon Leland arrange the ragtime music of Scott Joplin for synths and electronic drums, all presented in bright electronic voices that wouldn’t be out of place in a Super Nintendo game soundtrack.

This year has been particularly exciting for experimental music, ranging from free-form guitar freak-outs to lush, ambient, and constantly pushing boundaries.

Hausu Mountain has been on fire this year. They recently released the excellent new Pulse Emitter album, a glorious collection of melodic soundscapes. I reviewed “Tide Pools” for PopMatters.

This new Melvin Gibbs LP is exactly the kind of record that gets people into avant garde music. I think it’s o e of the best of the year. Feels free and wild. Such a unique combination of talents and influences; nobody else on earth could make it.
