Another delectable smorgasbord of autumnal textures and endless rhythms. This one eases in with Steve Gunn’s meditative guitar and Floating Action’s warped psych-pop before winding into Yukimi, Madison Cunningham with Fleet Foxes, and Hannah Frances with Daniel Rossen. From there, dank bass grooves (bass clarinet included, whether you’re ready or not) set the stage for Badge Époque Ensemble, Two Shell, and Jack Prest. The final arc stretches wide, with dance bangers and global jazz currents from Shay Hazan to Yazz Ahmed, Ruby Rushton, and Makaya McCraven.
