Hannah Lew is known for playing in San Francisco post-punk bands Grass Widow and Cold Beat, and now she's going solo. Her self-titled debut LP arrives in April, and we get a taste today with the sonically groovy, lyrically gloomy lead single "Another Twilight."

Hannah Lew balances the line between pop’s embrace and the cold edges of her post-punk past. First single “Another Twilght” is a smeared, hazy bout of sythpop. The song glows with a renewed warmth, a humming humidity that’s works well with Lew’s velveteen delivery. bit.ly/49yWd5H

It's been a busy start to 2026 already! Catch up with new music from Radhika, Hannah Lew, Dog Chocolate and Music City on our new playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/5KE...
