Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Joe Goddard, Neptunes

Each track on the electronic composer and Hot Chip leader’s debut EP together has a unique rhythmic texture, with the constant theme being a wall of bass that transports you to a celestial space.

New Order, Brotherhood [Definitive Edition]

With one side dedicated to icy compu-disco and the other tied to the band’s beyond-punk origin story, this expanded reissue brings new order to the 1986 curio with live recordings, remixes, and more.

Father John Misty, Mahashmashana

Josh Tillman focuses his lens on death on his darkly comedic sixth album as eclectic instrumentation continues to buttress his folky chamber pop beyond ’70s pastiche.

Janelle Monáe is back with a new belligerent single, “Turntables,” for a new documentary All In: The Fight For Democracy. The song is a call to action in the fight for voting rights for the upcoming 2020 election. 

“Turntables” is her first original material since 2018’s Dirty Computer—besides last year’s Lady and the Tramp cover—recorded for the documentary which reckons with activism from the past and the present, and it streams exclusively on Prime Video starting Friday, September 18. 

You can purchase/stream “Turntables” here, and listen to it on YouTube below.
