The Los Angeles Issue

L.A. Witch, DOGGOD
The tension between the bright, post-punk guitars and the darker aspects of the psyche expressed in the lyrics create something new and interesting for the LA trio’s third LP.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Death Hilarious
The UK stoner-metal outfit’s fifth studio album is another collection of pummelling, heavy thrills, the sound of grimy darkness being warped into something transcendently fun.

Glare, Sunset Funeral
Transfixing from start to finish, the South Texas shoegazers’ debut is a dynamic, undulating audio portrait of the ups and downs of existence.

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.
