Remi Wolf, Mud
Written in the aftermath of a breakup, the alt-pop songwriter’s gut punch of a third album sees her diving into discomfort head first without losing any of her storytelling’s signature color.
Total Wife, come.back.down.x.recovery
The Nashville-based shoegaze experimentalists enlist their peers to help rehab rough demos from last year’s Come Back Down, with the resulting EP proving unexpectedly cohesive.
Cameron Winter, Live at Carnegie Hall
As a work apart from Paul Thomas Anderson’s colorful concert film, the Geese frontman’s piano-and-vocals-only live album still works as a marvelous still-life treat.
