This week’s PBS Feature Album is Marlinchen in the Snow, the fourth full-length album by Charm of Finches.

Recorded in the depths of winter in the woods of Nova Scotia with acclaimed Canadian producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, The Once, Oh Pep!) after five months of touring across Australia, UK and Europe, Marlinchen in the Snow is inspired by the frozen beauty of the landscape in which it was created. The album reflects on Mabel and Ivy’s transient life on the road, belonging and the idea of home, along with the fragility of relationships.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Trail of Flowers, the latest release from singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sierra Ferrell.

Sierra Ferrell brings a dose of beautifully strange magic to everything she touches. On her new album, she expands her sound while deepening the urgency of her songs, often revealing a wealth of wisdom within her wildly imaginative storytelling.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is The Collective, the second solo album by legendary multi-disciplinary artist Kim Gordon.

Recorded in Los Angeles, The Collective follows Gordon’s 2019 full-length debut No Home Record and continues her collaboration with producer Justin Raisen (Lil Yachty, John Cale, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Charli XCX, Yves Tumor), with additional production from Anthony Paul Lopez. 

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Chorus, the third studio album by Mildlife. 

On Chorus, Mildlife link microcosmic personal meaning with a macro view from on high. Chorus is the sound of singular entities coalescing into a wondrous whole. It’s harmonious togetherness and celebratory symbiosis. And it’s the band’s ultimate statement of their borderline mystical unity, their unified theory of groove.
