Various artists, Red Xerox: Chicago Youth Beat 2020-2025
Spotlighting the diversity of Chicago’s underground scene, this comp is as much a symposium for genre-defying trailblazers as it is a no-skips playlists capturing the city’s budding youth-beat movement.
Cut Worms, Transmitter
Produced by Jeff Tweedy, Max Clarke’s fourth album tampers down the luster of past records, grounding aspects of the indie-folk songwriter’s music that once seemed impossibly pristine.
Kim Gordon, Play Me
Fully embracing the trashy SoundCloud-era internet aesthetic as she raps, sings, and shreds over industrial clatter, this is the sound of an artist who’s still inspired by the cutting edge at 72.
