The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, Dreams of Being Dust
The heaviness of the emo/post-rock outfit’s fifth and most metallic album isn’t just in the music this time around—it’s also in the words, themes, and intent of the record.

Teyana Taylor, Escape Room

Cass McCombs, Interior Live Oak
Reaching the pinnacle of his songwriting acuity, the vignettes McCombs paints with his voice and guitar on his 13th album evoke a conversation between Thoreau and Nick Cave.
