"I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" is a song by the Los Angeles #folkRock band #theByrds, first released in June 1965 on the #Bside of the band's second single, "All I Really Want to Do". Despite initially being released as a B-side, the song managed to chart in its own right in the U.S., just outside the Billboard Hot 100. It was also included on the Byrds' debut album, #MrTambourineMan and #TheByrdsGreatestHits. The song was written by band member #GeneClark.

Album Recommendations – July 2026
I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed. Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will to.
Album: Wendy Eisenberg
Artist: Wendy Eisenberg
Genre: Folk Rock, Country Pop
Release Date: April 3, 2026
Label: Joyful Noise
Favorite Tracks:- Take a Number
- Meaning Business
- Old Myth Dying
- Vanity Paradox
- The Walls
An avant-guarde approach to folk music combined with introspection and a sense of hopefulness shape this album by the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter.
Album: Nine Inch Noize
Artist: Nine Inch Nails, Boys Noize
Genre: Industrial Techno
Release Date: April 17, 2026
Label: The Null Corporation, Interscope
Favorite Tracks:- Heresy
- Parasite
- Came Back Haunted
- As Alive As You Need Me to Be
Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) and Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) collaborate on this compilation of live and remixed tracks from the Nine Inch Nails catalog. While I initially thought it was a mashup of boy bands with industrial techno, it’s still pretty cool if not legendary.
Album: Gongbu
Artist: Balming Tiger
Genre: Alternative K-Pop
Release Date: May 19, 2026
Label: Awal Recordings
Favorite Tracks:- Janjan
- Home
- It’s the Night
Balming Tiger is classified as K-Pop which is kind of absurd, since K-Pop is a whole music industry not a genre. And as an experimental music collective, Balming Tiger doesn’t even fit a genre.
Album: Ultra
Artist: Six Sex
Genre: Perreo, Electroclash
Release Date: June 6, 2026
Label: Dale Play
Favorite Tracks:- LOVE ME HATE ME
- CALIENTE
- BEAUTY privilege
- no more porn
Argentine Francisca Cuello electronic dance project Six Sex is kind of like if someone crossed reggaeton with Charli XCX.
Album: Olivia Rodrigo
Artist: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
Genre: Indie Rock, Dream Pop
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Geffen
Favorite Tracks:- drop dead
- stupid song
- maggots for brains
- the cure
- what’s wrong with me
- expectations
Olivia Rodrigo was born in 2003 but is keeping the sounds of the 80s & 90s alive with her mix of synthpop, power pop, pop punk, and thoughtfully-worded ballads. She even features a guest appearance by Robert Smith of the Cure!
Album: Floyd Mercantile
Artist: Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls
Genre: Folk, Singer/Songwriter
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Label: Righteous Babe Records
Favorite Tracks:- Some People
- Dreamers Awake
- Butterfly Kisses
Floyd Mercantile is the name of a store in rural Virginia where singer songwriters Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls, and guitarist Ross Bellenoit recorded this album. It includes original works by Mulvey (whom I’ve been following for a long time) and Nicholls (who is new to me but has a lovely voice) and classic pop songs from the Great American Songbook, all in a folk/jazz style.
Album: Public Luxury
Artist: Downtown Boys
Genre: Punk Rock
Release Date: June 26. 2026
Label: Sup Pop
Favorite Tracks:- No Me Jodas
- The City Begins
- Yellow Sun
- You’re A Ghost
- Public Works
The socialist punk rock band from Providence, RI return with their first album since 2017’s Cost of Living.

Self-Titled Saturday | Brama (2024, France)
For our next STS 2.0 spotlight, we’re going to take a look at number 0y[1] on The List, submitted by riff. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Point of origin(s): This group began in 2019 as a psychedelic power trio with Simon Guy (lead vocals, guitar), Paolo Gauthier (drums, vocals), and Baptiste Lherbeil (hurdy-gurdy, vocals). Yes, hurdy-gurdy. The album we look at here is Brama’s debut LP, following their 2022 EP La Glane. Their lyrics are in the Occitan language – continuing their partnership seen on the EP with Dominique Decomps, a professor/translator of Occitan, Decomps wrote or co-wrote the lyrics for nearly all the songs, with the final track using a traditional text.
- Tasting notes: Translated from their Bandcamp: “Brama’s music draws as much from the violin music of the Massif Central, as from the Pakistani Qawali, the guitar from Mali, the German krautrock and the ritualistic rock riff full of fuzz. Always sunny and hypnotic, Brama invites you into a ceremony at the crossroads of a tarantella and a psychedelic rock’n’roll mass. The hurdy-gurdy as a liturgical organ, the guitar/bass as an exorcised subject and the shamanic voice, mistress of worship.” The Quietus review of this album compared them to Mdou Moctar “in the way they revitalise hoary rock tropes through a combination of local flair, blistering musicianship and infectious enthusiasm”,[2] and I’d have to agree.
- Standout track: “S’enraija”, but, also, all of them rock.
- Where are they now?: Brama is now a quartet, with Amandine Pauvert at the hurdy-gurdy helm and Antony Miranda on bass.
- Websites: Bandcamp, Discogs (has links to their socials)
Happy listening!
- We use 0 followed by a letter to denote albums on The List that weren’t in Discogs at the time of adding (or at least I couldn’t find them). I’ve since found this one on Discogs, but the entry is currently separate from the already established page for the group. ↩︎

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band
Released on December 11, 1970, it's the debut album from John Lennon. Many consider it his finest solo work. Ringo's there on drums and Billy Preston and Phil Spector help, too. It's #23 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Self-Titled Summer | Fotheringay (1970, UK)
Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 280 on The List, submitted by baz. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Point of origin(s): Fotheringay was a British folk rock quintet formed by Sandy Denny after she left Fairport Convention (following the release of their 1969 Liege & Leaf, which we looked at nearly a year ago in a SpaceAce Sunday), named after Denny’s song of the same name from the Fairport Convention album What We Did on Our Holidays. The other members were Denny’s partner and Australian guitarist Trevor Lucas plus drummer Gerry Conway (both formerly of folk psych prog rock band Eclection), and American guitarist Jerry Donahue and Scottish bassist Pat Donaldson (both formerly of prog psych group Poet and The One Man Band). This was their debut album.
- Tasting notes: Folk rock with some jazzy bits, Sandy Denny’s remarkable voice, wistful longing
- Standout track: Their cover of Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Way I Feel” – I want that song to last forever. The opener “Nothing More”, the first piano track Denny would write, is also fantastic (as it is on their live album, Essen 1970, released in 2011).
- Where are they now?/RIP: This is the only album released while the original lineup was together. They disbanded in January 1971 during recording sessions for a second album. While some of this material would later be released in 2008 under the title 2, some was used for Denny’s debut solo album (the 1971 The North Star Grassman and the Ravens) and on a Fairport Convention album (the 1972 Rosie), as Conway, Donahue, and Lucas had all joined that band after Fotheringay broke up (Donahue and Lucas from 1972-5, Conway just briefly at the time as a session musician, but then again later from 1998-2022). Denny would go on to have a successful but short solo career (with her former bandmates appearing on some of her albums), and would also briefly rejoin Fairport Convention in 1974-5. She tragically died in 1978 at the age of 31. Lucas then returned to Australia and mainly worked as a producer and film score composer until his death in 1989. In addition to his long stint in Fairport Convention, Conway was also in Pentangle from 1987 until his death just last year (he was married to Pentangle’s singer, Jacqui McShee). Donahue has a rather lengthy CV, working as both a musician (including guitar trio The Hellecasters plus being in The Yardbirds around 2004-5) and producer, at least up until a stroke in 2016 that affected his ability to play guitar. Donaldson was also in a few other bands and worked as a session musician (including for John Cale and Stevie Nicks)[1] at least into the 2010s. Quite a group, this one.
- Websites: Wikipedia
Happy listening!
- Though a non-Fotheringay/Fairport Convention-related tidbit, a fun find for me in writing this up is Donaldson’s work on Mae McKenna’s Everything That Touches Me (1976). I know this album as McKenna is the mother of Jamie Woon, whose debut LP we’ll see in a future spotlight because I had added it to The List. ↩︎
