ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. Here, it’s as much an attitude as a sound—music that keeps things a little left of center and rough around the edges. This week, Snail Mail pens a track tailor-made for ’90s teen drama nostalgia, “Dead End,” which gets nostalgic about an old flame in a scene that’s long since changed (“I don't need you anyhow/There's more room on the basement couch”). Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
