M83, Fantasy

Providing a welcome retreat from reality, Anthony Gonzalez’s ninth LP shines so bright it should come with a special pair of sunglasses.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra, V

On their fifth album, the New Zealand outfit take their once-exploratory sound one step further toward full-fledged AOR.

Yves Tumor, Praise a Lord Who Chews but Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)

The shape-shifting experimental artist’s sixth LP strips back some of their last effort’s retro glam flashiness, but for once Tumor focuses on refining rather than reinventing.
