Jon Hopkins embraces the crackle and hum of daybreak, Caroline Shaw calls out across a narrow sea, and Chance The Rapper settles down by the fireplace with a grab bag of Christmas gifts, hot chocolate, and Home Alone. New records fall out of woodland idylls and far-flung satellites courtesy of Kid Cudi, Nilüfer Yanya, Hotboii, and Taylor Swift. Jhené Aiko and Nas and Burial, Four Tet, and Thom Yorke head up the collaborative efforts, leaving Iglooghost, Kodie Shane, and Phoebe Bridgers to round out the best of the week.
