Frank Black, Teenager of the Year [30th Anniversary Edition]

Bolder, weirder, and less Pixies-like than his solo debut, this vast collection of contagious pop vibes and oddball character studies remains Black Francis’ finest musical moment on his own.

Iggy Pop, Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2023

Kele, The Singing Winds Pt. 3

Fusing together the stripped-bare ambient-pop and dancier art-pop of the trilogy’s previous titles, the Bloc Party vocalist’s latest project often feels both overstuffed and too restrained.
