Sunflower Bean, Mortal Primetime

The New York trio’s first self-produced album has a smooth, consistent, quietly confident sound quality that reflects the elegance that’s always been at their core.

BRUIT ≤, The Age of Ephemerality

The French post-rock band lyrically addresses the unthinkable progress and regression of our post-internet age via droning metal and modern-classical sound on their second LP.

Fly Anakin, (The) Forever Dream

The Virginia rapper’s guest-filled latest is a stellar collection of bright, diverse, and downright gorgeous hip-hop that’s so light-on-its-feet it can sometimes feel like it’s sweeping you off yours.

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.
