Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Joe Goddard, Neptunes

Each track on the electronic composer and Hot Chip leader’s debut EP together has a unique rhythmic texture, with the constant theme being a wall of bass that transports you to a celestial space.

New Order, Brotherhood [Definitive Edition]

With one side dedicated to icy compu-disco and the other tied to the band’s beyond-punk origin story, this expanded reissue brings new order to the 1986 curio with live recordings, remixes, and more.

Father John Misty, Mahashmashana

Josh Tillman focuses his lens on death on his darkly comedic sixth album as eclectic instrumentation continues to buttress his folky chamber pop beyond ’70s pastiche.

Calling your music festival “Treasure Island” after it’s been exported from the titular Bay Area island is kinda like continuing to call Minnesota’s National Basketball League team “the Lakers” after they’d relocated to Los Angeles—it works if no one thinks about it too hard.

The newly relocated Oakland festival returned this past weekend after last year’s hiatus, bringing Tame Impala, A$AP Rocky, Courtney Barnett, Pusha T, and many more to West Oakland’s Middle Harbor Shoreline Park. With the San Francisco skyline still reflected in the nearby bay behind each stage, the festival maintained its offshore theme.
