After a major holiday in the U.S. (sorry, Brits), we need to take some chill time to digest all that turkey and mashed potatoes. That’s why we’ve assembled this list of all the best music coming out the U.S. and the U.K. this week. You can put in a playlist to listen to while you become a blanket burrito on the floor—or listen to it at the gym, if that’s how you roll… I guess.
