This week's PBS Feature Album is Te Whare Tīwekaweka, the fourth album from Marlon Williams. Over fourteen original songs, performed entirely in Te Reo Māori, Marlon explores newfound lyrical honesty and a grand sonic vision. When Marlon was having difficulty writing an album in English, he found that switching to his other ancestral tongue, which while not fluent, unlocked a new means of self-expression and felt like an important act of reclamation.

This week's PBS Feature Album is The Second High, the seventh studio album from Australian singer-songwriter Liz Stringer.

This week's PBS Feature Album is a Best Hits of The 5.6.7.8's by Tokyo's rockin' retro trio.

Best Hits of The 5.6.7.8's features 14 tracks hand selected by the group to represent some of their favourite recordings over the past 39 years together. 

The 5.6.7.8's are like a turbocharged time machine, blastin' back to the sweet sounds of yesteryear while pushing the envelope with innovative jams. Their authentic vibe and fearless genre mashups make them icons of the indie and retro scenes. 

This week's PBS Feature Album is Nothing, the third album from DARKSIDE and the first that the group – founded by Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington – have completed as a trio with new drummer Tlacael Esparza. Nothing is nine transmissions of negative space, telepathic seance, and spectral improvisation.
