Devendra Banhart, Cripple Crow [20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition]
Further extending the LP’s dimensions, this reissue adds a third disc of outtakes, B-sides, and demos that only serve to fortify the project’s sonic asymmetry and emotional, quixotic lyricism.
Die Spitz, Something to Consume
With their Will Yip–produced debut, the Austin punk quartet has something to say about postmodern society in 11 metal-fusion tracks ripe with political turmoil and skatepark angst.
Shame, Cutthroat
The UK rockers don’t mince words on their fourth studio album, pairing their infectious proto-punk grooves with nakedly hedonistic lyrics.
