Drahla, Angeltape

Their sophomore album sees the Leeds-based trio overcoming grief over instrumental flourishes that recall yesteryear while artfully resisting the lure of entering a time machine.

Chanel Beads, Your Day Will Come

Shane Lavers captures the awe and unease of humanity’s impermanence on his debut album of dissociative dream pop.

Couch Slut, You Could Do It Tonight

Leaning into their lyrical strength of expressing life as we know it as a visceral horror story, the sludge-rockers’ fourth album is equally notable for its unexpected instrumental flourishes.

Depeche Mode made good on their thirty-year-old promise never to let us down again by treating Northern California to a characteristically operatic performance, bringing along with them California natives and fellow troupers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Emanating in equal parts jam and glam, Dave Gahan and Co. set the bar high during their second stop on the present American leg of their ambitious fifteen-month, trans-continental Global Spirit Tour, showing no sign of fatigue. Our own David Iskra was there to capture the action.
