The "Pitchfork's Best New Music" playlist is basically a cheat sheet for what's currently hot, mixing everything from boundary-pushing beats to evocative lyricism. With tracks like Charli XCX's infectious "Von dutch" and the genre-bending "Sweet" by feeble little horse, this collection keeps things diverse and edgy.

Sofia Kourtesis' "Moving Houses" and Yves Tumor’s "Meteora Blues" bring depth and atmosphere, while Jaimie Branch’s "take over the world" and "burning grey" add a touch of avant-garde jazz energy. You’ll also find emotional highlights like "Why Am I Alive Now?" by ANOHNI and Antony and the Johnsons, and the soothing "Right Back to It" by Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman.
