Lambrini Girls, Who Let the Dogs Out

The UK duo hurls hand grenades in the direction of contemporary society’s myriad ills across their riotously fun yet deadly serious indie-punk debut.

Franz Ferdinand, The Human Fear

The Scottish rockers’ sixth album leans into variety with the help of a new lineup, though most of the LP’s highlights come in the form of singles exhibiting the band’s tried-and-true sound.

Ethel Cain, Perverts

More of an immersive art installation than an album, this 90-minute drone project is every bit as moving as its pop predecessor despite feeling deliberately difficult.

Despite searing heat and humidity, the annual Pitchfork Music Festival went off this past weekend in Chicago’s Union Park, featuring old favorites like Stereolab and Belle and Sebastian, reigning pop queens like Charli XCX and Robyn, and younger buzzy artists like JPEGMAFIA and black midi.

Here are some of our favorite pix from the mid-summer extravaganza 2019.
