Spring is finally here, and so is the Mercury's April playlist, a selection of songs from Portland artists releasing new albums and touring acts passing through town this month. Between the Soul'd Out Music Fest lineup (which includes Erykah Badu, Noname, and BJ the Chicago Kid), Haim's "Sister Sister Sister" tour stop at the Schnitz with Lizzo, and more intimate shows from up-and-coming artists like Soccer Mommy, it's going to be a jam-packed month for concertgoers. Plus, local bands are dropping some fantastic new records—don't sleep on "Stay with Me," the spellbinding lead single from Faustina Masigat's self-titled debut.
