The controversial crooner delivered his sex tales to an adoring crowd. Don't call them twee. The Scots beefed up their tunes with an upbeat punch. They wore flowers in their hair for Angel Olsen and Joanna Newsom. Fans braved the heat for looks at buzz acts Savages, Parquet Courts. She's another Chicago mainstay, having come up in the city's poetry scene and an active community organizer. Her voice is gorgeous, and her words are even more powerful, so it's safe to say you'll be captivated by her performance.

Angel Olsen When: at the Red Stage Singer-songwriter Angel Olsen has released a lot of new music in the past few years, including her gorgeous album All Mirrors and a reworked version of it, Whole New Mess —but she's only playing two shows in-person this year.

One of them just so happens to be at Pitchfork, so that's all the more reason to see her. Her music and idiosyncratic voice has the power to warm your heart and then rip it out entirely with all of its feelings—and you should absolutely let it.

Their music gets you right in it with its heartwarming messages about chasing optimism in the face of apathy, which comes through in both their lyrics and exciting guitars. Caroline Polachek When: at the Green Stage Ever since indie pop group Chairlift disbanded in , their frontwoman Caroline Polachek's star has only grown. Now a solo pop act, Polachek makes chic, dreamy alt-pop that feels as if its from another realm with her ethereal, high-pitched voice.

She has an eye for fashionable aesthetics that feel just a tad dark in the coolest way, so she'll definitely make the stage her own.

The lead single from her upcoming sophomore album "Bunny is a Rider" is a bop, so fingers crossed she previews even more new releases during her afternoon set. Unclear, but this is yet another festival scheduling offense. Both are funk-inspired musicians who likely have some of the same fanbases. Yves Tumor sounds and performs like a full-blown, futurist rock star, so you should immerse yourself in their live renditions of last year's excellent, psychedelic-tinged Heaven To A Tortured Mind.

Especially if you can't make it to see any of the legacy acts on the bill, Yves Tumor is resonant of '70s and '80s icons, making them a must-see. With his eclectic jazz and rap-inspired sound, you can bet his DJ set will be hypnotic. And who knows, maybe Thundercat will come out on stage for a song or two. Thundercat tends to dip into some tasteful goofiness in his music with his nostalgic sounds and fun lyrics.

As does rapper Danny Brown, who spits verses and performs like a stand-up comedian. If it's unabashed liveliness and high energy you're looking for, make sure to get to him at the Green Stage.

When: at the Green Stage Whether you can make it to all three days of Pitchfork or you've only got tickets to one, you should make it a mission to see the headliners, who are all women—a true rarity for this and any year.
