Converge, Hum of Hurt
Released just a few months after the more metal-leaning Love Is Not Enough, the Boston group course-corrects by balancing the scales with hardcore on their second LP of 2026.
horsegiirL, Nature Is Healing
The debut from Berlin-based enigma Stella Stallion is a dance record filled with synths, heavy bass, and the traditional beeps and bloops—yet somehow it also feels organic and alive.
Bedouine, Neon Skin Summer
Flowing out of a period of stillness, Azniv Korkejian’s fourth LP dusts up a world of childhood innocence as it diverges from the folk-pop tradition—and her own catalog—of lovelorn intensity.
