Portrayal of Guilt, …Beginning of the End
The Austin trio pushes into new territories within the frameworks of hardcore and metal, inserting flourishes of trip-hop, nu metal, and even Memphis rap into their aggressive package.
VINSON, Raw Honey
The debut album from the Detroit-reared artist jumps from jazz to electronica to R&B while always maintaining a cohesive structure of easy Sunday-morning vibes.
Friko, Something Worth Waiting For
With their second album, the Chicago band sheds their tough noise-pop exterior to reveal a more delicate sound—and emotional truisms to match—as they grow more confident.
