Tame Impala, Deadbeat

Despite finding inspiration in house music and the birth of his daughter, Kevin Parker’s fifth album is largely defined by a conflict between past and present.

Sudan Archives, The BPM

Brittney Parks’ inventive third album channels the electronic musical lineage of Chicago and Detroit by combining house, techno, and footwork with broader sounds like hyperpop and IDM.

The Last Dinner Party, From the Pyre

The Londoners’ second LP doubles down on the ’70s pomp for another ornate, big-budget collection of orchestral glam rock that, despite its flair, doesn’t leave a lasting impression.
