Jessie Ware, Superbloom
Three albums into her tenure as a pure-pleasure purveyor, Ware leans into the featherweight grooves of the ABBA era for a smooth yet occasionally frictionless epilogue to the trilogy.
Nine Inch Noize, Nine Inch Noize
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Boys Noize continue their collaborative streak by looking back on the NIN canon with a skull-fucking, metal-electro collab of thumping, throbbing songcraft.
Yot Club, Simpleton
Littered with existential concerns about what is truly real versus carefully curated presentation, Ryan Kaiser wrestles with American suburbia on his third album of indie-surf tunes.
Connor McInerney
The bonus LP of B-sides provides a sense of completion to Olsen’s “All Mirrors” era, although the set as whole feels a bit uneven.
The EP’s subject matter is thornier than past efforts’, leading to songwriting that pulls fewer punches.
DIRTY PROJECTORS
Longstreth also details his love of bossa nova and the ever-fluctuating definition of what Dirty Projectors really is.
Much of the signature grime has worn off, revealing an innovative—though not necessarily boundary pushing—shine.
