Deep Voices: July 2024

The 20 best songs of the month

I am a lover of rock music, if a sometimes reluctant one. It’s a genre in which flashiness is often inherent to success. Showy guitars, bruising drums. Usually, I’ll bite. There’s a reason I love listening to the Grateful Dead so much. But making rock work on a small scale can be difficult. This month, Chris Cohen’s sublime album achieved the near impossible, delivering a big feeling with a small sound. I wrote about a perfect song from that record, along with 19 songs from other artists that, all told, make up the best music of July. (It was a happy and sad surprise to be listening again to Christopher Owens.)

In addition to the era-agnostic weekly playlists, each month Deep Voices aka me, Matthew Schnipper, listens to every song released in the entire world and gathers the best ones for paying subscribers.
