Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Howl [20th Anniversary Edition]
The garage-psych trio honor the underappreciated third album that gave them a second wind with a three-LP set featuring a photo album, handwritten lyrics, and more goodies from the era.
Mandy, Indiana, URGH
The Manchester quartet’s second album sees them screaming personal and political crises into the void over a techno noise-rock kaleidoscope that arouses the cyber-punk apocalypse.
Sassy 009, Dreamer+
A concept album about a doomed romance in an alternate world, Sunniva Lindgård’s alt-pop debut is gripping in fragments but difficult to grasp as a whole.
