Deftones, private music
Each member’s strengths are on high alert, making the alt-metal band’s thrashing and highly imaginative 10th album a thing of brutal beauty.

Mac DeMarco, Guitar
The songwriter’s intimately recorded latest LP is a simple affair where humor and bluntness roam freely and his typical experimentation hardly obscures the beauty of his songwriting craft.

Quadeca, Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
The YouTuber-turned-rapper’s production style reaches a new zenith, with the LP’s intensity perfectly complementing Benjamin Lasky’s verses exploring obsession, alienation, and self-destruction.

With pristine pop, bold rock, and a revitalized love for performance, the New York group’s third LP succeeds in bridging their priorly variegated output.

The Irish neoclassical composer paints in grayscale on her third solo album, her dirges often feeling dark or lamentable while at other times frank, vulnerable, or even loving.

The largely self-produced album marks Groves’ first full-length since her 2009 self-titled under the name Blue Roses.

With the help of collaborator Madeline Johnston of Midwife, Jensen Keller’s pensive slowcore project produces a hypnotizing post-rock experience with a hint of outlaw country.

Named for her pandemic puppy, the record marks Hannah van Loon’s first release since 2018.

Zack James unpacks the nuanced feelings behind each track on the band’s innovative alt-country album.
