Two Wheels Move the Soul — the sophomore LP from the mercurial quartet Robber Robber — collects a series of pressurized vignettes to assemble a thrillingly explosive statement. Written and recorded following the demolition of founding members Nina Cates and Zack James’ longtime home, Two Wheels Move the Soul captures the chaos of living at the mercy of powers-that-be. Propelled by Cates’ nonchalant bars — inspired by the effortlessly cool cadence of Gucci Mane and Lou Reed — Two Wheels Move the Soul spans post-punk scorchers, burnt-out slacker anthems, and melodies that sweeten every bitter pill stomached along the way. Following the acclaim of their debut — Pitchfork “Best Rock Albums of 2024”, Paste “Best Debut Albums of of 2024”, Stereogum “2024 Best New Artists” — Two Wheels Move the Soul works through the discomfort of class, upheaval, and inevitable catastrophe, as only Robber Robber could.

'Wish On The Bone' is Why Bonnie's sophomore LP and debut for Fire Talk. It's untethered from any landscape or genre, propelled by this freedom and resulting in Why Bonnie's most catchy, hopeful body of work to-date. Ranging from twangy country infused rock jams to more intimate and lo-fi arrangements, ‘Wish on the Bone’ is wide-eyed and waiting. It’s a coming of age film in which the protagonist rejects the forces that have tried, and failed, to shape her into something other than herself. It leaves you with a hard-fought sense of hope, which is among songwriter Blair Howerton’s greatest gifts. “You owe it to the people who are experiencing the worst to just keep pushing,” Howerton says. That’s the throughline of “Wish On The Bone”, a record that rewards with repeated listens.
