Glare, Sunset Funeral

Transfixing from start to finish, the South Texas shoegazers’ debut is a dynamic, undulating audio portrait of the ups and downs of existence.

Perfume Genius, Glory

Backed by the incredible team he’s assembled over the years, Mike Hadreas’ seventh release is a folk album that remains as slippery, electrifying, and brilliantly unknowable as its lead single.

Gloin, All of your anger is actually shame (and I bet that makes you angry)

On their second album, the Toronto band taps into the fury of their post-punk forebears with a polished set of psychological insights that feel angry in all the right ways.

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.
