Bruce Springsteen, Tracks II: The Lost Albums

This new box breaks down seven well-framed sets of sessions spanning 1983 to 2018, essentially designed as full-album capsules of mood previously deemed unfit for canonization.

Gelli Haha, Switcheroo

The songwriter’s debut is carefree, sleazy, fundamentally arresting dance music—a multi-sensory circus serving to wallpaper the halls of dance-pop history with neon, acid-tinged nonsense.

Wavves, Spun

The LA band’s eighth LP eschews distortion in favor of a cleaner pop-punk sound that both spotlights Nathan Williams’ songwriting chops and dulls the project’s compelling eccentricities.
