Maria Chiara Argirò, Closer

The London-based art-pop composer shifts into more polished electronic club music territory on her third solo LP as we hear her wrestle with a sense of connection.

METZ, Up on Gravity Hill

The Toronto noise-punks’ fifth LP sees their familiarly angular guitars working through melodies that range from ear-sweetening to atonal, furthering the mystery that is the band METZ.

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.

King Princess (a.k.a. Mikaela Straus) made sure the intentions behind her new song were perfectly clear, teasing it as “the anthem for bottoms everywhere.”

“Hit the Back” arrived today, and its chirpy ’80s synths and easy breezy indie dance floor vibes cement it as a fall playlist staple. It’s the latest advance track from King Princess’ hotly anticipated forthcoming debut, Cheap Queen.

The album is scheduled for release on October 25 via Zelig/Columbia Records.
