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.

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.

Recalling early-’00s pop-punk, the band’s third record creates an experience that’s new and surprising yet familiar and comforting at the same time.

The noise rockers’ 6th album expands upon the electronic, warehouse-rave-set, live sound introduced on last year’s “Hologram” EP.

The split will also get a vinyl release via Suicide Squeeze on February 11.

On her first solo albums since 2012, the Canadian songwriter crafts a visceral feeling of joy and camaraderie with the help of her backing band.

Stripped of textured guitars and big sounds characteristic of her past output, Rundle leans into singer-songwriter qualities reminiscent of Nick Drake or Sibylle Baier.

The songwriter’s debut single is out now via Arts & Crafts.

On Jones’ funhouse follow-up to his psych-rock debut, each interrelated song serves as a madcap one-man show within a cosmic, comic drama.

The Tokyo-based instrumental post-rockers’ 11th album is an emotional journey that stirs the psyche with its meditative qualities.

The PNW-based group achieves a rustic and pastoral quality landing somewhere between black metal and something more otherworldly.

This reissue of the band’s 2014 debut gives new focus and meaning to details from the original release.

Witnessing Anika’s evolution from her debut to sophomore album is like experiencing the world go from black and white to color.

Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink’s first record in a decade proves they can seamlessly pick up from where they left off.

The shapeshifting group’s second album of 2021 is straight up psychedelic from start to finish.

The posthumous release from the late Suicide singer is a time capsule of the industrial sounds of ’90s NYC.

The debut record from Jenny Hval and Håvard Volden feels both familiar and new, sounding classical yet edgy.

Like a memoir, “Live at Levitation” tells the story of The Black Angels on the rise.
