Holy Fuck, Event Beat

The Canadian band’s sixth collection of percussion-driven, electronically augmented art-rock walks a fascinating tightrope between hard-hitting noise and grooving synth-funk.

Dälek, Brilliance of a Falling Moon

Just as the industrial hip-hop stalwarts have never been tourists within the genre, Will Brooks’ lyrical focus on class war and normalized tragedy remains steadfast on the project’s tenth LP.

Digital Underground, Sex Packets [35th Anniversary Edition]

This double LP celebrates the adventurous 1990 debut from the freaks of the industry by offering rare remixes and other unreleased tracks from the era packaged with a 3D gatefold.
