My Top 4 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 41):

1. Maggie Rogers – "in The Living Room". Following up her amazing "Don't Forget Me", Maggie Rogers is back with another song in a classic '80s-'90s Americana vein, from the song structure to the foregrounded guitars and drums and her impassioned vocal. #music

2. 2nd Grade – "I Wanna Be On Your Mind". Philly indie rock band is back with their third album and this single, with jangle-pop guitar licks and girl-next-door vocals that leap out of the speakers. #music

3. Henrik Appel – "Nothing to Lose". Stockholm's Henrik Appel's voice is pitched somewhere between a younger Mick Jagger and Nikki Sudden, and he shines on this ramshackle "Angie"-like ballad featuring piano, guitar, flute and a bit of shaker. #music

4. GOAT – "Zombie". It's like a socially awkward guy at a party—loud as a plaid leisure suit and trying a bit too hard to be arty. But yet somehow it's also undeniably funky and makes the loud awkward parts work in that context. #music
