Gloin, All of your anger is actually shame (and I bet that makes you angry)
On their second album, the Toronto band taps into the fury of their post-punk forebears with a polished set of psychological insights that feel angry in all the right ways.

Great Grandpa, Patience, Moonbeam
An experiment in more collaborative songwriting, the band’s highly ambitious first album in over five years truly shines when all of its layered ideas are given proper room to breathe.

Bryan Ferry & Amelia Barratt, Loose Talk
This ghostly collaborative album with spoken-word artist Barratt finds the Roxy Music leader digging his own crates for old demos and warped melodies that went unused until now.

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.
