Interpol, This Mirror Weighs a Ton
Nearly 25 years after their debut, the post-punk revivalists shatter the illusion of entropy with an ominous collision of tech-era anxieties and visceral sonic world-building.
Mastodon, Marrow Deep
On their eerie, electrifying return, the Atlanta metal icons cut through the mire of grief and come up with a spectacular, pained record that’s among the finest of their career.
Mike D, Thank You
Mike Diamond maintains the close-knit familial vibe and youthful effusion the Beastie Boys forged in 1981 on a debut solo effort full of looped synths and snaggle-toothed raps.
