Music in March 2025

Highlights from my March 2025 playlist.

• Stars has quickly established itself as one of my favorite bands.

• Redemption Arc and Light Through the Linen are both achingly hopeful in small ways.

• Cameron Winter’s Love Takes Miles is a whole word.

• Adrianne Lenker is only capable of writing interesting songs, and her album from last year is no exception.

• Della Loved Steve was an album I kept in constant rotation for years around a decade ago, and revisiting it, it’s still as jarring and wild as ever.

• SASAMI’s The Seed has such an interesting pared-down rhythmic energy.

• Idiot Box feels especially resonant for me, a famous waster of time (though in my case it’s more an idiot rectangle).

• Brothers in Arms has lived in the back of my mind since I encountered it years ago in what might be the greatest needle-drop in television history, on The West Wing’s greatest episode, Two Cathedrals.

• The entre score for The Thin Red Line is excellent, but the tracks which feature the choral hymnody  of the Choir of All Saints from Honiara in the Solomon Islands make my hair stand up.
