Stereolab, Instant Holograms on Metal Film
Their first new album in fifteen years spins on an axis of subtly infectious refrains and gently askew rhythms—it’s avant-garde art-pop as something radically old yet experimentally new.

Sparks, MAD!
The Mael brothers’ 26th album purrs with sincere longings dedicated to romantic splits, though ultimately remains true to the duo’s idiosyncratic melody and tongue-in-cheek lyricism.

These New Puritans, Crooked Wing
The interplay of organ and voice throughout the Essex band’s fifth album creates a haunting document of the modern world wrestling for coexistence with the old world.

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.
