Ezra Furman, Goodbye Small Head

A glitchy folk-punk opera like a pastoral take on Lou Reed’s Berlin, the songwriter’s quivering-yet-empowered latest sees her knocked down—but never knocked out.

Youth Code, Yours, with Malice

The EBM duo continues to test new waters with their debut EP for metalcore label Sumerian, inviting experimentation on each of these five bone-rattling recordings.

Kali Uchis, Sincerely,

Moving from the synth-dembow-pop of last year’s Orquídeas to dreamy neo-soul, her fifth album sees Uchis adapt the tripling axis of joy, pain, and existential dilemma into cloudy song.
