Youth Lagoon, Rarely Do I Dream
Although compositionally impressive, the didactic personal lore of Trevor Powers’ fifth album ultimately upsets the controlled momentum this project has long been defined by.

Tim Hecker, Shards
This ephemeral EP feels like a placid segue from 2023’s No Highs, even if it largely just serves to chronicle the ambient composer’s recent film and TV work.

Despite its imperfections, the album is enjoyable when odes to funk music liven up its heavy pop sound.
