Melodic Remedies by Mamie Janes

Artist: Mamie Janes

Title: Melodic Remedies

Genre: twee folk

Release Date: January 15, 2026

Highlight: "Carried Away"

50-word review: Melanie MacKinnon and Julian Peterson make naive, lo-fi folk music that sounds like Calvin Johnson and Jay Farrar collaborated with Tanya Donnelly and Kim Deal. MacKinnon's voice has the right balance of self-assurance and self-consciousness within arrangements that are simultaneously sparse and lush. A distinctive take on a well-worn genre.

Anemoi 2: Notus by Tsoogalope

Artist: Tsoogalope

Title: Anemoi 2: Notus

Genre: Psychedelic hip-hop, rap

Release Date: January 3, 2026

Highlight: "Arms Where I Can Rest"

50-word review: Tsoogalope's deft lyricism and richly crafted beats suggest an artist as influenced by Lewis Carroll as by Slug, with music that could released by either Doomtree or 4AD. With dense, inscrutable lyrical references to mythology, literature, and video games, Tsoogalope weaves compelling, intriguing hip-hop tapestries that make you want more.
