Punchbag, I Am Obsessed
The South London sibling duo take stock of the clutter in their life with a second EP of rave-infused pop-punk that may convince the listener that it was actually recorded in 2012.
Earl Sweatshirt / MIKE / Surf Gang, Pompeii // Utility
Working over Surf Gang’s emollient cloud-rap sound beds, both rappers’ blackly comic takes on the fall of mankind in the 21st century come together in a show of unity, utility, and futility.
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.
