When Beverly Glenn-Copeland<\/a> announced his dementia diagnosis<\/a> in 2024, he said in a joint statement with his wife Elizabeth, \u201cWe want to challenge the mainstream image of this illness, which focuses on loss. We are actively asking the universe to show us where the life is here.\u201d More than a year later, the pair\u2019s new collaboration Laughter in Summer charts that course, acting as a mutual love letter and a firm embrace of the future. (A new arrangement of Glenn-Copeland\u2019s 2007 track \u201cChildren\u2019s Anthem\u201d is dedicated to the couple\u2019s granddaughter.) Recorded with engineer Howard Bilerman and a Canadian choir, it\u2019s improvisatory and theatrical while remaining grounded in Glenn-Copeland\u2019s rich, singular tenor. The title draws inspiration from a phrase Beverly sang to Elizabeth while at work on a still-unreleased project, Songs Without Words: \u201cLaughter in summer, how I remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daphni:\u00a0Butterfly\u00a0[Jiaolong]\"Image<\/p>\n

Can an artist collaborate with themselves? On Butterfly, Dan Snaith\u2019s first Daphni<\/a> album since 2022, he makes a worthy case for it. The Canadian producer\u2019s new endeavor under his dance alias includes one song, \u201cWaiting So Long,\u201d which \u201cfeatures\u201d vocals attributed to Snaith\u2019s other project, Caribou<\/a>. In press materials, Snaith says the improbable match-up embodies the synchronicity of his artistry these days, and Butterfly finds him in step with his inner selector. Opening in an elegant blitz of house and post-EDM metered by interludes of dub and jazz, Butterfly flutters into funkier, stranger territory as the tracklist fades out. But it never loses the free-associative, peak-time spirit that the Daphni moniker embodies.<\/p>\n
