Asher White recorded her second album of 2026—following a collection of Jessica Pratt covers entitled Jessica Pratt—at home in Brooklyn and at a studio in Rhode Island. Love Aggregates, like much of White’s output, marries the homespun intimacy of a bedroom recording project with the pop sheen of a polished studio recording. Opener “Reverie for work” waltzes along with piano melodies, an accordion, and slide-guitar accents, while “White Castle sad” somehow beautifully captures the truly rock-bottom moment of having consumed too many fast-food sliders. The album’s penultimate track, “Stage Diva,” is perhaps its most energetic, featuring scuzzy punk guitars, tambourine accents, and harmonies that hearken back to the sugary-sweet rock of the band from That Thing You Do! Style is less a defining character on Love Aggregates than a concept to be warped and manipulated. A surer sign of Asher White’s DNA does not exist. Our Favorite Lyric: “Nightingale Version (Sailor’s Moon)”: “Tonight there’s a DreamWorks moon/All the parking lot spaces all blossom like tulips.”
