Woo, Robot X + Xylophonics [Reissues]

Dabbling in odd, electronically treated acoustic instrumentation, the new-age-gone-wild sibling duo repackages material recorded in the ’80s and released last decade for a new label.

Khruangbin, A La Sala

The Houston instrumental trio’s back-to-basics fourth album is a delectably nuanced and subdued listen touched up with open-air production and field recordings.

Shabaka, Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace

The prodigious jazz band leader shifts from kinetic energy to meditative tranquility as he puts down the sax on a solo release that’s somehow both calming and jarring.
