The National make an appearance in RR this week with a cover of INXS’s big hit “Never Tear Us Apart.” It’s a new sound for singer Matt Berninger, and a cool take on something that is no longer old, but new again. It’s all for a great cause, Songs for Australia is a compilation that will donate all proceeds to help Australia rebuild after the awful bushfire crisis.

She has become a staple on the last four solo projects of Paul’s and makes for an extremely sexy duo. The 16 song opus is on Spotify now, get involved.

“Dear God” see Phantogram on a new, soulful vibe, giving their sound a much-needed update.

This is a super-strong, creative return. Possibly their best record to date?
