The ethereal pop of Alexandra Savior, Andy Frasco & The U.N.’s raw garage-infused blues rock, baroque pop from Erin LeCount, Taylor Rae’s soulful pop, Mamalarky’s inventive rock and Amy Millan’s introspective folk.

Alexandra Savior, “Unforgivable” — Portland singer-songwriter Alexandra Savior delivers a haunting performance on “Unforgivable,” a chilling, confrontational track somewhat reminiscent of Norah Jones’ “Miriam.” It fuses psychedelic rock and dream-pop, with a Big Band feel that perfectly complements Savior’s smoky, vintage-sounding vocals.

The song is a sharp rebuke—a mantra for women to stop blaming themselves for the unforgivable acts of others. Its old Hollywood femme fatale energy is no surprise, given its producer, Drew Erickson, known for his work with Lana Del Rey. The single also marks Savior’s signing with RCA Records. While this is the artist’s first appearance in Tuesday Tracks, we picked her as a breakout in 2017.

Andy Frasco & The U.N. featuring G. Love and Eric Krasno, “Swinging for the Fences” — Andy Frasco & The U.N. deliver a raucous, soul-soaked anthem with “Swinging for the Fences.” Blending alt-rock, folk, blues and Americana, Frasco and friends channel Motown energy with a grooving bass line and rich horn arrangements.

Joined by G. Love and Eric Krasno, Frasco sings with humor and heart about love, luck and reaching for more—regardless of financial status. A standout line: “Am I crazy, to think we can mix it?/ Your champagne, I’m cheap whiskey.” The track is the latest single from the band’s upcoming album, Growing Pains, out May 23. The song is just in time for the start of baseball season.

Erin LeCount, “Marble Arch” — Angelic and otherworldly, Erin LeCount evokes the ethereal qualities of Imogen Heap and Florence Welch in “Marble Arch.” Blending baroque pop with sparse electronic percussion and ornate production, the track is haunting yet emotionally raw. The shifting choruses—from introspective to soaring—mirror its theme of self-reflection and the obsession with perfection. As LeCount sings, “The walls of my heart/ Are like museum corridors/ The love that I gave/ Was art in its form.” Her upcoming album, I Am Digital, I Am Divine, arrives April 23.

Taylor Rae with Sierra Hull, “Telluride” — Singer-songwriter Taylor Rae delivers a modern tune with “Telluride,” blending roadhouse roots-rock and analog Americana with a bluegrass-tinged groove. Fingerpicking solos add warmth and texture, while the artist’s introspective lyrics make it perfect for a windows-down drive. Her mesmerizing delivery of the word “coast” in “I’ll never go back to the coast” captures both resolve and longing. Featuring Sierra Hull, this track is easy listening with depth, steeped in nostalgia yet focused on moving forward.

Mamalarky, “Anhedonia” — This tune is from rock quartet Mamalarky’s forthcoming album, Hex Key, out April 11 on Epitaph. It blends dazed lo-fi pop with blissed-out, wry vocals and elastic bass lines. Vocalist Livvy Bennett explains the song reflects her experience with depression and isolation. She captures the feeling of being trapped in a painful cycle when she sings, “It seems so overcast/ Shadows chase you.”

The song is named for the inability to experience joy, embodied when Bennett sings, “Where I go, anhedonia knows.” Michael B. Hunter’s keyboard lines and the drumming provide a rushing, dynamic backdrop.

Amy Millan, “Make Way for Waves” — This is the second single from Stars vocalist Amy Millan’s solo album, I Went To Find You, coming May 30 via Last Gang Records. Best known for her work with the Montreal band, Millan’s solo effort captivates with lyrical depth.

This song brims with poetic lyricism. Two highlights: “Set the masts at half/ For the time that doesn’t last” and “Fear is the liar/ Into our wires and bones/ Looking for a home.” Her spellbinding delivery, paired with vivid imagery, evokes a sense of searching and impermanence. I find myself drawn into her introspective world.

Sery’s pick: Alexandra Savior’s standout vocals on “Unforgivable” truly left an indelible impression on me.
