Concert Manager’s Pick - Gennie Herron ’23
Album: “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” - Taylor Swift
Genre: Folk, Acoustic
RIYL: Taylor Swift, Classic Country, Americana
Blurb: She’s back and better than ever — which is hard to imagine. “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” features classic Swift songs reimagined with 10 years of experience under her belt. The songs convey the same emotions, but in more depth and with higher production quality. It seems as though Swift has a better ability to produce the songs she’s hearing in her brain. In addition, her previously unheard songs labeled “From The Vault” are unreal. My personal fave is “You All Over Me (feat. Maren Morris) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault).” Whether you’re a hardcore Swiftie or not, you must check it out.
Music Director’s Pick - George Werner ’21
Album: “The Buried Life” - Medicine
Genre: Noise Pop, Experimental
RIYL: The Telescopes, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain
Blurb: Earworm hooks, laden with white noise and passive aggressive lyrics, define this ’90s gem. The album begins with “The Pink,” a song driven by its fiercely intense beat, then moves through to, what I consider to be, the best track on the album, “Never Click.” Next, it moves in a more experimental direction, using feedback and increasingly off-kilter instrumentation to set up the deceptively approachable “Live It Down.” Not every track on the album is a winner, but it succeeds as a noise-pop album because of Brad Laner’s excellent sense of musical balance, which keeps the listening experience fresh and enjoyable. This album is an underappreciated classic.
Concert Manager’s Pick - Eric Kapner ’21
Album: “Survive” - Show Me The Body
Genre: Punk, Industrial
RIYL: Portrayal of Guilt, Daughters, Death Grips
Blurb: Show Me The Body is back with a new EP that rings just as harsh and aggressive as their earlier releases. Their distorted, bass-boosted sound is energizing and unique. As usual, the band infuses statements about politics, media and society into their music. I recommend listening to “Survive” when running, working out or starting a revolution in the streets.
Music Director’s Pick - Dan Frazo ’23
Album: “Titanic Rising” - Weyes Blood
Genre: Psych Folk, Noise Pop
RIYL: Faye Webster, Drugdealer, Julia Jacklin, Big Thief, Angel Olsen
Blurb: Weyes Blood (pronounced “wise”) is the moniker of California-born Natalie Mering, who began writing and performing music under that name at the age of 15. Throughout many years of solo work and collaborative efforts, her music has spanned a number of different genres. In “Titanic Rising,” Mering plays with different moods of dream-pop and psychedelic folk in what some have called a “chill apocalyptic blend.” Mixing together smooth melodies and chilling vocals, “Titanic Rising” is a beautiful addition to Weyes Blood’s musical portofolio.
Programming Director’s Pick - Micah Raymond ’21
Album: “Off You” - Big Thief
Genre: Indie Folk, Rock
RIYL: Snail Mail, Julia Jacklin, Better Oblivion Community Center
Blurb: Big Thief’s cover of The Breeders’ “Off You” is the first single they released this year, following just one new single in 2020 (after the acclaimed back-to-back albums released in 2019, “U.F.O.F.” and “Two Hands”). It’s soft and aching and raw, just like we’ve all come to expect from everything frontwoman Adrienne Lenker makes. The song comes from “Bills & Aches & Blues,” an album of covers released earlier this month as a belated 40th-anniversary celebration of UK-based record label 4AD, which also features contributions from Tune-Yards, Future Islands, Jenny Hval, Bradford Cox, Helado Negro and more. Definitely worth a listen in its entirety.

Tech Director’s Pick - Maddie Van Beek ’22.5
Album: “Sound Ancestors” - Madlib
Genre: Hip-hop, Jazz, Instrumental
RIYL: MF DOOM, J Dilla, Four Tet, Flying Lotus
Blurb: Madlib collaborated with Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden to produce an album that is a study in archivism, sampling and homage. Pulling from his own catalogue of music, Madlib rearranges beats and vocal lines to reference the past and bring them into the future. “Sound Ancestors” also includes samples and draws inspiration from Snoop Dogg, MF DOOM and J Dilla. This album is perfect for turning the lights off and listening to straight through, but it’s also a great study album because it is predominantly instrumental.
Concert Manager’s Pick - Eric Kapner ’21
Album: “Sultans of Sentiment” - The Van Pelt
Genre: Emo, Indie Rock
RIYL: Braid, The Promise Ring, Cap’n Jazz
Blurb: Now this is a true emo throwback. In the mid ’90s, while many emo bands were getting louder and faster or embracing the emerging pop punk sound, The Van Pelt was crafting an album that was slower and more thoughtful, but still quirky and hard-hitting. “Sultans of Sentiment” is an accessible record for fans of indie rock, while also remaining essential for midwest emo purists. If you’re short on time, check out track numbers one, three, nine and 10. This album could change your life — or at least your perspective on music!
Business Manager’s Pick - Maia Sauer ’22
Album: “Quiet Signs” - Jessica Pratt
Genre: Folk / Singer-Songwriter
RIYL: Angel Olsen, Cate le Bon, Bedouine
Blurb: If you haven’t heard this gentle, wandering 2019 album, you’re missing out. Jessica Pratt has a haunting voice that swirls in and around her pared-back instrumentals. The resulting sound is hazy and poetic, perfect for getting lost in the woods or watching rain slide down your window.
Library Managers’s Pick - Jacob Raymond ’23
Album: “Long Violent History” - Tyler Childers
Genre: Instrumental Country, Bluegrass
RIYL: Colter Wall, Lillie Mae, Norman Blake
Blurb: A surprise release from modern old-country artist Tyler Childers, “Long Violent History” appears to be a quiet, unassuming fiddle album. Childers’ lyricism plays almost no role in this album. He has crafted a very low-production but nonetheless pleasant record best played in the background while sitting in a rocking chair reading a book. However, this wasn’t Childers’ only intent for the album. Alongside the release, Childers uploaded a six-minute message to YouTube contextualising the album and the powerful final track, the titular “Long Violent History.” In the song and video he speaks about the suffering endured in a country ravaged by Covid-19, as well as the violence and oppression inflicted on Black Americans and people of color. He attempts to bring to light how Southern, rural white people refuse to accept and empathise with the horror of this reality. Childers implores them to shatter their ideologies and communities of hate and apathy, and stand up for those who are being harmed and killed in this country.
Creative Director’s Pick - Pia Contreras ’21
Album: “Whack World” - Tierra Whack
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
RIYL: Mac Miller, Buddy, Drake
Blurb: I was introduced to this album when I heard the song “Pretty Ugly” playing in a Walgreens commercial about sun protection, and I was immediately hooked. While I didn’t go buy sunscreen, I did make a dash for my phone to pull up Shazam. When I found the song, I was thrown for a loop when I saw it was only a minute long. Actually, all 15 tracks in this album are one minute long — and they are fantastic. If you have a couple of minutes, I strongly recommend listening to this brilliant collection of whimsical vignettes. There are so many different production styles and musical themes represented in this single album that there’s something for everyone.

Music Director’s Pick - Dan Frazo ’23
Album: “The Mighty Project” — Total Football
Genre: Indie Pop, Surf Rock, Dream Pop
RIYL: Beach Fossils, Real Estate, Woods, Vundabar
Blurb: “The Mighty Project” is a six-piece band of fun-lovers from Beppu, Japan. Influenced by the sounds of American indie pop, frontman Keito Otsuka gathered up a group of his childhood friends to try his own hand at making music in 2018. Since then, the band has been busy crafting simple, atmospheric tunes that bridge dream pop and surf rock, all the while performing at local venues in Beppu.
Studio Manager’s Pick - Lucy Rinzler-Day ’21
Album: “Amiture” – The Beach
Genre: Dance, Electronica, New Wave
RIYL: New Order, Spelling, Drab Majesty, TR/ST, Pet Shop Boys, Bronski Beat, Choir Boy
Blurb: This album instantly transported me back to last spring, briefly abroad in Prague, at a low-ceilinged, hole-in-the-wall nightclub during its ’80s night, where dark, pulsing beats reverberated through the purple smoke. If you think “Blue Monday'' by New Order goes hard, try this. Whether cleaning my room or putting on silver eyeshadow for a small get-together this past weekend, “The Beach” did the trick. (Also, one of WRMC’s official additions last week, so we encourage you to play it on your show to support emerging artists like this!) Amiture’s gorgeously smooth, tenor/contralto vocals are reminiscent of the bands who pioneered ’80s New Wave, while his instrumentals are smooth, danceable and incredibly well-produced. Viiiibes.
Music Director’s Pick – George Werner ’21
Album: “Music from the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle” – The Olivia Tremor Control
Genre: Neo-psychedelic Rock, Experimental
RIYL: The Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Thee Oh Sees
Blurb: The Olivia Tremor Control — a member of the Elephant 6 Collective that produced Neutral Milk Hotel and The Apples in Stereo — were part of a resurgence of interest in the songwriting and production practices of the 1960s, those which were used to produce albums like the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds.” The album ranges from pleasing-to-the-ear retro pop like “Jumping Fences” to the bizarre — and occasionally haunting — soundscapes of the ten successive tracks titled “Green Typewriters.” A great album to listen to all the way through, it interweaves familiar notes and experimental music together seamlessly.
Creative Director’s Pick - Chad Kim ’23.5
Album: “Nico and Her Psychedelic Subconscious” – Mr. Elevator
Genre: Jazz Band, Psychedelia, Rock
RIYL: Mdou Moctar, Beyond the Seasons, KGLW
Blurb: As the name of the album suggests, “Nico and Her Psychedelic Subconscious” features a series of jam sessions punctuated with moments of calmness that act as a chance for the listener to catch their breath. The evolution of each track allows an exploration of a broad gamut of genres — from experimental to more classic psych rock. If you’re the kind that enjoys having your senses knocked around in the presence of novelty, then this is the perfect album for you.
Programming Director’s Pick - Micah Raymond ’21
Album: “Stay in the Car” – Bachelor
Genre: Indie Rock
RIYL: Jay Som, Palehound, Hand Habits, SASAMI
Blurb: Best friends Melina Duterte (of Jay Som) and Ellen Kempner (of Palehound) — two classic WRMC faves — just started a band together. They’ve released a couple singles from their upcoming album (you can preorder it on Bandcamp) and they’re everything you thought they’d be. The music is fun and playful, with the just-gritty-enough crunch that we’ve come to expect from the two. Duterte and Kempner write that while they did shed tears in the creative process — especially around themes of queerness and climate change — “they couldn’t remember a time they’d ever been so delirious with creativity, so overwhelmed with joy.” A must-hear, and a must-look-forward-to.

Concerts Manager’s Pick — Eric Kapner ’21
Album: “Do You Wonder About Me?” - Diet Cig
Genre: Indie Rock
RIYL: Great Grandpa, Remember Sports, Charly Bliss
Blurb: I didn’t realize that I managed to miss Diet Cig’s new album until I recently came across “Do You Wonder About Me?” Like Diet Cig’s earlier releases, this album channels punk influences and indie sweetness to create a confessional and honest record. From hard-hitting lyrics to rocking instrumentals, this album is perfect for headbanging (or crying) alone in your room.
Studio Manager’s Pick — Lucy Rinzler-Day ’21
Album: “Introverted Romance in Our Troubled Minds” - P.S. Eliot
Genre: Indie Rock/Punk
RIYL: Waxahatchee, Hop Along, Camp Cope, Swearin’
Blurb: “Introverted Romance in Our Troubled Minds” has always hyped me up, from high school morning train commutes to more recent platform-boot-stomps across Battell Beach, as I yearn for the kind of rowdy DIY house show this album can transport you to. I also love P.S. Eliot for showcasing sister songwriters Katie and Alison Crutchfield’s sonic teenage roots before they moved on to bigger projects: Swearin’ and Waxahatchee. IRIOTM is lyrically captivating and cohesively upbeat, raw and gritty across all tracks, illustrating the nuances of beginning a new relationship through all-too-relatable anecdotes for our generation.
Business Manager’s Pick — Maia Sauer ’22
Album: “Underneath the Pine” (Instrumentals) - Toro y Moi
Genre: Synth Pop/Psych Pop/Electronic
RIYL: Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Wild Nothing, Tennis
Blurb: Okay, okay, I know this album came out in 2011, but hear me out. Toro y Moi just released an instrumental version of “Underneath the Pine,” and I’ve been listening to it a lot on my walks around town. It’s a fitting soundtrack to early spring, with a little laid-back groove and some synth-y energy to hype me up for warmer weather and longer days. Give it a listen!
Music Director’s Pick — Dan Frazo ’23
Album: “Foam” - Divino Niño
Genre: Indie Pop/Neo-Psychedelia
RIYL: Drugdealer, Chicano Batman, Crumb, Loving, Jerry Paper
Blurb: Divino Niño released “Foam” in 2019 after recording the entire album in frontman Camilo Medina’s Chicago apartment. The album consists of mellow beats, dreamy keyboards and this one stinking guitar riff that I cannot get out of my head (see track 10 if you dare). If you’re like me, and get those occasional weird nights on campus where you don’t feel like doing anything and instead just walk around looking for reasons to feel kind of sad, this one’s definitely for you.
Programming Director’s Pick — Micah Raymond ’21
Album: “Under 1 House” (EP) - Blue Hawaii
Genre: House/Techno
RIYL: Four Tet, Jessy Lanza, Braids
Blurb: “Under 1 House” is a quick six-track mixtape released in September 2020 by one of my favorite house music duos: Blue Hawaii. It’s been my go-to pick-me-up album for the past several months. Based in Montreal and Berlin, Blue Hawaii has a trademark blend of clean yet irresistibly fluid house music with soaring vocals that make for total dance-floor euphoria. The album is dedicated to “the spirit of togetherness ... unity achieved through confidence, in the seductive redemption of one’s own sexuality, finding power in feelin’ one’s self.” The album is a much-welcomed feeling in a time of fierce isolation and temporary separation from the nightclub.

Tech Director’s Pick – Maddie Van Beek ’22.5
Album: “Hey u x” – BENEE
Genre: Indie Pop
RIYL: Mallrat, Gus Dapperton, Still Woozy, Lorde
Blurb: New Zealander BENEE followed up her TikTok-famous single “Supalonely” with a full-length album, “Hey u x,” in late 2020. It’s sincere, fun and star-studded, with features from Mallrat, Gus Dapperton, Grimes, Lily Allen, Flo Milli, Kenny Beats, Bakar and Muroki.
Creative Director’s Pick – Pia Contreras ’22
Podcast: “How to Save a Planet” - Gimlet
Genre: Society, Environment, Science
RIYL: Drilled, Timber Wars
Blurb: Hosted by Alex Blumberg and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, “How to Save a Planet” is great for anyone who is even remotely curious about climate change. In each episode, the hosts explore a new topic related to the climate crisis — from the truth about recycling to kelp farming to electric cars. Even if you don’t like podcasts and hate the planet, the theme song alone (original music by Peter Leonard and Emma Mungard) makes the show worth listening to and earns it a spot on this roundup.
Music Director’s Pick – George Werner ’21
Album: “Roses” – The Paper Kites
Genre: Indie, Folk Rock, Atmospheric
RIYL: Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Iron & Wine, Bon Iver
Blurb: For whom are the “Roses” in the Paper Kites’ newest album’s title meant? Perhaps it is a reference to the wistful love songs that dominate the album, but I suspect the album is above all else meant to honor the concept of the vocal duet. Every track has a different guest singer, each of whom shines in their own right. As a whole, the album reminds me of driving on an empty highway at 2 a.m. as you grow tired and feel the world around you start to blur. It is certainly worth a listen if you are in the mood for a slower, quieter album.
General Manager’s Pick – Rayn Bumstead ’21
Single: “Materialistic” – Remember Sports
Genre: Indie Rock, Pop Punk
RIYL: Bully, Forth Wanders, Diet Cig
Blurb: SINGLE ALERT! Get excited for a new Remember Sports album by listening to this single! “Like a Stone,” the band’s fourth album, is set to be released April 23.
Creative Director’s Pick – Chad Kim ’23.5
Single: “Trophy” – Crumb
Genre: Ethereal, Indie, Dream Pop
RIYL: Mild High Club, Drugdealer, Post Animal
Blurb: Maybe it’s been a minute since you last gave Crumb’s EP “Locket” a listen, but fret not! Crumb has returned with its new single, “Trophy,” a pleasant reprise of a familiar dream sequence that will facilitate your self-dissolution goals. Their fully-realized sound pairs well with late night walks and sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool.
Social Media Manager’s Pick – Jose Morales ’22
Single: “Leave the Door Open” – Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak)
Genre: Soul, Pop
RIYL: Kali Uchis, Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak
Blurb: “Leave the Door Open” isn’t necessarily underground, but this new collaboration from Bruno and Anderson hits hard! Their vocals mold beautifully under a grand and smooth production that has me excited for future projects. They go by the name Silk Sonic, which is fitting given their delivery on this track.

Programming Director’s Pick – Micah Raymond ’21
Album: “Devil’s Rain” - Maria BC ’19.5
Genre: Ambient, Dream Pop
RIYL: Grouper, Oneohtrix Point Never, Broadcast
Blurb: This debut album from Middlebury and WRMC alum was recorded in the solitude of Maria BC’s apartment bedroom during lockdown. Maria’s classical vocal training shines through against soft guitar loops and ghostly reverb. The album gets its title from a folktale in which sunshowers are the work of an evil spirit; it is beautifully intimate, expansive and full of dreamy longing. Maria’s music is “close and visceral, like Cocteau Twins’ melodies repurposed as choral pieces… [it] lands as softly and naturally as snow at night,” Pitchfork magazine said.
Concerts Manager’s Pick – Gennie Herron ’23
Album: “Atlanta Millionaires Club” - Faye Webster
Genre: Indie rock pop
RIYL: Ambient indie, good songs with snazzy lyrics, Better Oblivion Community Center
Blurb: Faye Webster weaves narratives using a wavy guitar and a solid rhythm. She has a lovely voice that conveys emotion in every note. Her songs are good for any mood: from moping break-ups to dancing in your room (alone or with friends). “Better Distractions” was also one of President Obama’s favorite songs from 2020.
Library Manager’s Pick – Jacob Raymond ’23
Album: “Old Time Feeling” - S. G. Goodman
Genre: Country blues
RIYL: Margo Price, Tyler Childers, H.C. McEntire
Blurb: S. G. Goodman’s debut album brings us to the life of a Kentucky farmer’s daughter through its bluesy and Southern rock and roll influences accompanied by Goodman’s wistful lyrics and harrowing vocals. From the smooth “Tender Kind” to the angry and moody “The Way I Talk,” this album is both a love letter to and a painful protest against the Southern experience that seems to stem from her own experience. If you are looking for an album that is both old and new, feels both loving and longing, and sounds both subdued and emphatic, you will find it in “Old Time Feeling.”
Creative Director’s Pick – Pia Contreras Balbuena ’22
Album: “YHLQMDLG” - Bad Bunny
Genre: Latin Urban, Trap
RIYL: J Balvin, Ozuna, Maluma, Daddy Yankee
Blurb: This album title might look like a typo, but it’s actually an acronym for “Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana” or “I Do What I Want.” It’s an excellent album that takes this phrase very literally, especially with regard to its lyrics and production, which vary widely between songs. I highly recommend listening to this album, but beyond that I recommend adding Puerto Rican icon Bad Bunny to your playlists.
Business Manager’s Pick – Maia Sauer ’22
Album: “The Tipping Scale” - Kinlaw
Genre: Dreampop, Artpop
RIYL: Caroline Polachek, Jenny Hval, Kate NV
Blurb: The album is dreamy, poetic and a little bit dancey for your “it’s still winter somehow, but all I really want is to be driving alone on a summer night with all my windows down” mood. Atmospheric and bittersweet, “The Tipping Scale” is chock full of sweeping synths and moments that sink into house beats and crowded basement sounds. Its lyrics center around memory and how to navigate changing relationships.
Social Media Manager’s Pick – Jose Morales ’22
Album: “take it, leave it” - Jackie Hayes
Genre: Alternative, Indie
RIYL: Billy Lemons, Indigo De Souza, No Vacation
Blurb: Jackie Hayes’ latest EP “take it, leave it” is a small set of tracks that showcase her creative experimentation with production and vocal performances. This is her first EP as a solo artist since she left her previous band Family Reunion, and it holds the feelings of a transitional moment in her life. The first two tracks, “headache” and “enemy,” follow some introspective thoughts of dissatisfaction, frustration and confusion. The last two tracks “belong” and “dead of winter” build off these emotions and take on a more aggressive tone. The drums pick up their pace while the guitar and her voice become increasingly distorted. There is a sharp, high-pitched distortion that comes in during “belong,” evoking the emotions of frustration that come with feeling displaced mentally and socially.

On Sunday, Jan. 19 hosts IAN STEWART and GRETA NEUBAUER spoke to four of Vermont's migrant workers.
Estimates put the number of migrant workers in Vermont at 1,500. For those migrants the long, dangerous trail across the southern border and up to the Green Mountain State isn’t the end of their troubles. The threat of deportation looms even as they form an integral part of Vermont’s iconic dairy industry.
This weekend in the first annual Student Symposium at the Rohatyn Center organized by Molly Stuart and Fernando Sandoval, their rights and struggles were at the center of the conversation. Four of the workers – Jose, Lorenzo, Danny and Jose, who all work on farms in the State – spoke with us recently about their experiences, their work with the Vermont-Based organization “Migrant Justice” and what changes they’d like to see in America’s evolving relationship with its immigrants.
