    Album Review: Noah Kahan “The Great Divide”

    There’s a moment, just before the sun disappears on a late August evening, when everything feels suspended. The air hums with crickets, the heat clings softly to your skin, and somewhere in the distance, a child is laughing like nothing will ever change. On his fourth studio album, The Great Divide, Noah Kahan doesn’t just describe that feeling, but he preserves it and captures it like an old home video.

  • Pick of the Week: Lily Allen “4chan Stan”

    Pick of the Week: Lily Allen “4chan Stan”

    Lily Allen released her newest album, West End Girl, in October 2025. “4chan Stan” is ERS’s pick of the week, which is the 8th track on her controversial, cutting new album. The album is a departure from Allen’s previous work, yet it features her literal and often sarcastic lyricism. Allen is one of the most dynamic, unique performers over the last few years, and her new album is no different!
