Music to discover this week comprises six tracks, including entries from Grammy nominees and two notable cover tunes. Plus, we've got pick for you from Doc Rhombus, an artist who entered the local music scene just this past year.

Big Red Machine, "A Crime" (Sharon Van Etten cover)

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of her album, Epic, Sharon Van Etten will release a double album featuring a re-release of the original album and a collection of covers by Fiona Apple, Courtney Barnett, Lucinda Williams, and Big Red Machine (a group featuring Aaron Dessner of The National and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver). The Big Red Machine cover of "A Crime" features dueling guitars and Justin filling his vocals with regret and vitriol.

Lucy Dacus, "Thumbs"

A fan-favorite live track that is as beautiful as it is bleak, "Thumbs" is a murder ballad about friendship and the wish fulfillment of helping a friend deal with a horrible father. "Thumbs" is haunting and horrific in the most gentle and delicate way.

Doc Rhombus, "Fine Line"

"Doc Rhombus is a songwriter, musician, and producer who moved to Minneapolis from Chicago this past year. He released his debut full length album, Long Division, in January 2021, which acts as an examination of fractured society and the idea that ignorance breeds division. Throughout the album, Doc incorporates expansive sonic landscapes, catchy synth-filled grooves, and a generally sunshine-y and relaxing sound which nicely contrasts the album's more tricky subject matter." - Sylvia Jennings
