Staff Picks With Sonic Youth, Rihanna, Durand Jones & The Indications, Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine

Senior Editor Brett Callwood

Sonic Youth

"Youth Against Fascism"

As we all should be.

Associate Editor Ruby Risch

Rihanna

"Higher"

It’s short, it’s sweet, and it’s been on repeat lately. 

Operations Manager Robin Rose

Durand Jones & The Indications

"Morning in America"

"Congressmen in Washington
Receive their brief and brew
While lead, it fills the pipelines
In a Detroit county school
And I think of my grandmother
How she told me to be strong
It's morning in America
But I can't see the dawn"

Editorial Intern Anna Jordan

Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine

"Back to Oz"

It's the perfect melancholy anti-love song as the leaves begin to die.
