In this installment of What We're Listening To, Engadget's Weekend Editor Cheyenne MacDonald dives into the new releases she's been enjoying lately.Francesca Wexler - I Dreamt I Found a Red RubyEvery once in a while, the algorithm actually does right by me. While scrolling through my Instagram feed sometime in the last month or so, a suggested Reel from artist Francesca Wexler popped up, and I couldnt help but get pulled in by her captivating flow. Her style isnt so easy to nail down to a single genre, but would fit under the alt hip-hop umbrella she described her work in one instance as psychedelic rap.Some songs on Wexlers latest album, I Dreamt I Found a Red Ruby, have almost an ethereal quality to them, like its opening and closing tracks, Heaven on Earth and Moonwalking. The upbeat and catchy Aint I hits like a sunny day. But there are darker, harder moments too in songs like Amphetamine Man that really show off Wexlers depth as a rapper. With I Dreamt I Found a Red Ruby, its evident that Wexler is an artist that shouldnt be slept on.Orville Peck - StampedeOrville Peck didnt make us wait long for a full album after dropping Stampede: Volume 1 in May. On Friday, the country artist released the duets album in its entirety, and even though it hasnt been a full three days yet since it came out, I can already tell its going to dominate my Most Listened playlists for the foreseeable future.Stampede sees Peck collaborating with country legends and emerging artists alike, and genre-wise, theres a little of everything in there. On top of the songs I shouted out from the first half, the rest of Stampede brings a bunch of new bangers, my favorites including Back At Your Door featuring Debbii Dawson, Papa Was a Rodeo featuring Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, and Youre an Asshole, I Cant Stand You (and I Want a Divorce) featuring Margo Price.Honorable mention: Street CleanerI recently set out looking for music that sounds like it could be straight out of an 80s horror/thriller movie, and Reddit pointed me to Street Cleaner. Well let me tell you, I was not disappointed. Street Cleaner, whose style is described on Bandcamp as being a theatrical and grimey take on synth music, has become my go-to artist to pop on when I need to get some work done or otherwise be locked in.There isnt a particular song or album I've latched onto I just throw the entire discography on and let it get me in the zone. Street Cleaner released some new music in April, though, and that's as good a place as any to start your listening journey. The artist apparently also made a video game, which I fully plan on checking out.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/what-were-listening-to-i-dreamt-i-found-a-red-ruby-stampede-and-more-205000229.html?src=rss
