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.

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.
