Psychedelic rock exploded globally in the ‘60s not just because it mirrored the mind-expansion dosed out by underground chemists, but because those altered states mirrored a generation’s breaks with the status quo. By bending time, extending techniques and improvising, participants used music to imagine freedom from social norms. Pioneers who borrowed odd tunings and trance-like repetition from non-Western musics both simulated selflessness and created possibilities for kinship with liberatory social movements around the world. Six decades after the psychedelic revolution, BALTHVS are retracing its legacy of transnational connection.

Trey Anastasio Live and Acoustic may have only been recorded last year, but it was years in the making. While steadily outputting blue-ribbon tunes for Phish’s catalog (“What’s Going Through Your Mind”) and for his namesake band (“All Pretending”), Anastasio has simultaneously been accumulating a quieter, more song-oriented cache to fortify his episodic acoustic tours with songs that appear calibrated for the format—songs like “Lost in the Pack” and “A Little More Time,” both of which hit in some kind of idealized way here.

It’s not that Mikaela Davis defies expectations, it’s that she doesn’t countenance them.
Davis prefers to trust in the muse and her own instincts, which have propelled her forward, garnering the artist both critical approbation and public admiration.
This ethos has reached its creative apogee with her new album, Graceland Way.
It all began with Davis’ initial approach to the record, her second on the Kill Rock Stars label after 2023’s And Southern Star, which followed the 2018 Rounder release, Delivery.
“Usually when I’m going into the studio with a new album, all the songs are finished,” she explains. “The world of the album is clear, and I already know generally what I want it to sound like. But this was completely different from anything I’ve ever done.”
