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.

The Notwist, News From Planet Zombie

This folksy, brassy new iteration of the German trio excels at melodies that yearn and churn with melancholy—yet still manages something celebratory.

Minnesota Artists United Against ICE, Melt ICE

This gigantic comp album featuring 110 Minnesotan artists raising funds for immigrant communities terrorized by ICE may also happen to be where you find your new favorite band.
