@, Autosmile

The experimental duo coil psychedelic-folk introspection around prog-rock guitar flourishes across the dramatically pivoting tracklist of their acoustically oriented debut for 4AD.

Rachel Chinouriri, I Think I Spoke Too Soon

On her second album, the English artist pivots to clubbier sounds that both satisfy and sting as she suppresses loneliness with a fake smile and a polished dance-pop sheen.

Fontaines D.C., Dopamine Chamber

Opting for a synthetic architecture over the driving guitar language of earlier records, the Dublin band shatters their sonic frontier to reveal a grim catechism for hyper-processed hedonism.
