Future Islands, From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth
The synthpop outfit celebrates 20 years together by propping up their lesser known material, affirming the value of these cutting-room-floor songs that the band knew they had all along.
Boards of Canada, Inferno
The Scottish duo’s first album in 13 years is their most evocative yet, presenting a series of down-tuned tones and dark chordal scores rippling with cryptic samples and robo-voice blips.
Paul McCartney, The Boys of Dungeon Lane
On his 20th album, the octogenarian pop-rock architect builds a time machine out of scuffed acoustic guitars, warm tape hiss, and the kind of indelible melodies that cast a long shadow.
