Dry Cleaning, Secret Love

With the help of producer Cate Le Bon, the South London quartet’s third album sands down their jagged post-punk edges into smooth, surreal pebbles of magical realism.

Various artists, Passages: Artists in Solidarity with Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers

These unheard tracks from Dirty Projectors, Daniel Lopatin, and more are hushed and raw, all crafted with the idea of evoking a sense of home to highlight those whose own are at risk.

HEALTH, Conflict DLC

The noise-rockers’ sixth LP is a full-on rush of nihilistic energy, a shattered disco ball serving as the perfect encapsulation of a world decimated by capitalistic greed at the expense of humanity.

Torn Hawk, “Let’s Cry and Do Pushups at the Same Time”

The strange name seems to promise a rollercoaster of emotional catharsis mixed with machismo, but the album itself can’t truly live up to the title’s intriguing jumble.
