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.

Great Grandpa, Patience, Moonbeam

An experiment in more collaborative songwriting, the band’s highly ambitious first album in over five years truly shines when all of its layered ideas are given proper room to breathe.

Bryan Ferry & Amelia Barratt, Loose Talk

This ghostly collaborative album with spoken-word artist Barratt finds the Roxy Music leader digging his own crates for old demos and warped melodies that went unused until now.

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.
