As always, this month's cover art was created by cutting and pasting the tracklist into mid-journey to see what it thinks this collection of songs looks like. Your guess is as good as mine as to how we got there from here or here from there.

April really flew by! It's been a great month for new music with releases from some of my favorite artists like St. Vincent and Oneohtrix Point Never. I've also been turned onto a new favorite in Chappell Roan (video below and two tracks in this month’s playlist!!), and I'm honestly surprised at how much I'm enjoying the new Vampire Weekend album—I definitely didn't see that coming!

I'll keep my blabbing short and sweet. Without further ado, here's a playlist for you!
