The Beach Boys, We Gotta Groove: The Brother Studio Years [Super Deluxe Edition]
Focusing on the band’s mid-’70s run (and its outtakes), this package is among the oddest, most experimental, and most fulfilling in Beach Boys box history.
The Black Heart Procession, 1 [Reissue]
This remastered re-release of the duo’s haunting, melancholy 1998 debut serves as a brilliant reintroduction to a criminally underappreciated band.
hemlocke springs, the apple tree under the sea
Naomi Udu’s debut album soundtracks her journey of self-discovery through her own version of heaven and hell in a glitch-pop take on Paradise Lost and Dante’s Inferno.
