- #102512New Chris Thile Bach Album Out Now
On Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol. 2, Chris Thile performs Bach's Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004; Sonata No. 3 in C major, BWV 1005; and Partita No. 3 in E major, BWV 1006. For his second recording of Bach Violin Sonatas and Partitas, 12 years after the first volume, the mandolin virtuoso opted for a more personal approach, allowing himself to take liberties with the scores, which he recorded in multiple, somewhat untraditional, locations of personal significance. “My mentor, Edgar Meyer, has shown me ... you practice Bach ... because it makes your life better," Thile says. "Because communing with something that beautiful, made by a human being, continuing to be made and enjoyed by so many human beings, makes you proud to be human."
- #5d7d96Jonny Greenwood Scores One Battle After Another
Jonny Greenwood's score to Paul Thomas Anderson's film One Battle After Another features 18 new compositions performed by London Contemporary Orchestra, with conductor Hugh Brunt. Greenwood contributed piano, guitar, bass, percussion, and ondes Martenot. The film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro, and Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti, is Greenwood's sixth Nonesuch-released Anderson film score. "Paul Thomas Anderson fans are well accustomed to how instrumental Jonny Greenwood's music is to the auteur’s body of work," Indiewire says of their collaborations: "Greenwood's original scores expertly capture Anderson's tones."
- #5e260dRobert Plant's Saving Grace Out Now
Robert Plant's Saving Grace, his first album with a new band of distinguished players, is what he calls “a song book of the lost and found." Its genesis was during lockdown, when Plant’s customary wandering was all but forbidden. It was in the English countryside that he connected closely to this diverse group of musicians—vocalist Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, cellist Barney Morse-Brown—who had a shared lean towards his corners of evocative song. Produced by Plant and the band and recorded over six years in the Cotswolds and on the Welsh Borders, Saving Grace features songs by Memphis Minnie, Bob Mosley (Moby Grape), Blind Willie Johnson, The Low Anthem, Martha Scanlan, Sarah Siskind, and Low.

- #464646Tortoise's Touch Out Now
On Touch, Tortoise's first new album since 2016, the groundbreaking group harnesses its collectivist songwriting approach to reconnect, recenter, and reinvigorate their sound for what is perhaps their most diverse release to date. While there are still excursions into the dusky, elegantly gnarled jazz ambience, Touch is perhaps most remarkable for the post-everything icons' unapologetic embrace of grand gesture. Re-engineered Krautrock, hand-cranked techno rave-ups, and pointillist spaghetti Western fanfares are all imbued with Tortoise's signature internal logic.

Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider’s fifth full-length LP, a new, all-orchestral album Forward Into Light, produced by Silas Brown and recorded by Metropolis Ensemble led by artistic director/conductor Andrew Cyr, is due February 27 on New Amsterdam / Nonesuch Records. It features Forward Into Light, inspired by the American women’s suffrage movement; the string orchestra and harp (Noël Wan) version of Drink the Wild Ayre; Eye of Mnemosyne, a work on memory, innovation, and culture; and Something for the Dark, a meditation on resilience. Snider says: “I chose to create an album of these four works because they share themes of perseverance, alliance, and evolution through dark and light—concepts that have been at the forefront of my mind in recent years."

Cécile McLorin Salvant’s Oh Snap comprises 12 very personal songs by the singer/composer (plus a cover of a verse from the Commodores’ 1977 hit “Brick House”) mostly recorded outside of a traditional studio environment. The songs showcase her genre-spanning tastes and influences from her 1990s childhood in Miami—from boy bands to grunge to classical to folk—and include party tracks with beats, samba grooves, and quiet folk songs. The album features longtime collaborators Sullivan…
