Regina Spektor drapes serpentine vocals atop fingerpicked acoustic guitar to form “Birdsong.” This latest track from the singer and multi-instrumentalist appears in an episode of the new Matthew Weiner show The Romanoffs on Amazon Prime. It’s brief, clocking in under two minutes, but uses every moment for a considered beauty that’s undeniably Spektor.

Panda Bear: Dolphin
In typical Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) style, his new song “Dolphin” is delightfully oddball.

It’s a delightfully catchy, perky pop song celebrating queer love.
