As something of a belated Nowruz gift to us all, Iranian-American post-punk goddess Rahill (see also: Habibi) hits the top of the charts at last. Her debut solo LP Flowers At Your Feet is due May 12 via Big Dada Recordings, and “Fables” — the collaborative single that she just dropped with Beck — is pure, buoyant spring vibes. It is ready and waiting to thaw your winterized heart.
New and notable: Mexican crooner Tuzient’s forthcoming LP Raixes arrives just outside of the top 20; indie-rock queen of yr heart Jenny Lewis teases Joy’All, her first solo album since 2019; and The Chemical Brothers unleash the irresistible heat of standalone single “No Reason.”
