• Poolside – "Bedroom Eyes" (feat. Stevie Appleton) [Single] – After losing his home to the fires more than a year ago, it's been great to see Jeffrey Paradise, aka Poolside, return to making beautiful, blissful, chill music that still makes you want to dance.  Making a big splash (pun intended) and debuting at the top is the latest single, featuring platinum-selling topline writer Stevie Appleton.

• WILLOW – "She's My Religion" [Single] – The new single, mixing experimental and progressive R&B, alternative jazz, and atmospheric soul from the boundary-pushing sonic shapeshifter, debuts at #4 on the chart and will appear on her forthcoming ninth studio album, The Thread, out July 24th. 

• Cannons – Everything Glows – Appearing at #11 is the fifth album from the LA electro pop trio, who visited KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic with Novena Carmel last week as our special guests. We learned about the music that helped form the band and also shared songs they are excited to perform at their biggest show yet, their Afterglow tour with Bob Moses on July 19th at the Hollywood Bowl with KCRW host Novena Carmel. And be sure to tune in for a fun throwback '90s jam at the end of their hang that delighted us all in the studio. 

• Yard Act – "New Beginnings" [Single] – The newest single from one of the UK's smartest and wittiest post-punk bands debuts at #15 and is one of the grooviest tracks they have released. "New Beginnings" appears on their forthcoming third album, You're Gonna Need A Little Music, which is the first one they have recorded as a live band in the same room. And you can see them do that very thing when they kick off their US run of dates at the Teragram Ballroom on August 6th.
