Rufus Wainwright, Dream Requiem
Written in dedication to the smoldering spirits of Verdi and Puccini and the bleak words of Byron, the songwriter’s Requiem-Mass dirge doomily portrays death’s gutting solitude.

bdrmm, Microtonic
Boasting lush electronic soundscapes and complex themes of modern dystopia, the Hull quartet’s third album feels more nuanced than their prior indie-rock discography.

Panda Bear, Sinister Grift
Replacing sequenced mechanical instrumentation for blunter analog rhythms, Noah Lennox tunes his ears to the charts on his latest release, which is anything but sinister.

“It’s been a while since I’ve sung these songs—16 years, in fact. But I’m thrilled to be here with Jason and the soon-to-be First Gentleman of the United States of America.”

Norah Jones, The Black Crowes, and Kool & the Gang all delivered stellar sets at the annual Asbury Park fest—but this year’s edition was all about The Boss.

EarthGang, Bootie Brown, Michelle Ndegwa, De La Soul, and others joined Damon Albarn and the animated group for their Philly tour stop.

The Asbury Park, NJ festival co-founded by photographer Danny Clinch also featured Wet Leg, Idles, My Morning Jacket, Boy George, and more.

Julien Baker and Quinn Christopherson also performed at this weekend stop on the triple-headliner Wild Hearts Tour.

The event—which benefitted local foundation Make the World Better—also featured Welsh singer Cate Le Bon.

The electronic pioneers are in the midst of their North American 3-D tour.

Trent Reznor and the band are in the midst of a US tour playing their first live shows since 2018.

The Radiohead frontman took his Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes project to Berkeley for a memorable sold-out performance.

The “Beastie Boys Book: Live & Direct” tour was a funny, moving, and irreverent spectacle—all soundtracked by breakbeats and scratches.

The iconic metal group went unplugged—or at least slightly de-electrified—for a benefit show this past weekend.
