The Los Angeles Issue

Beach Bunny, Tunnel Vision
On their third album, Chicago’s grungey power-pop outfit neatly balances present-day anxieties with wistful nostalgia while sagely ruminating on existential struggle and broader social themes.

SUMAC & Moor Mother, The Film
Their debut collaboration stitches the poet/emcee’s potent oratory chops through the metal group’s free-form sounds to create an avant-garde epic concerning human rights, violence, and empire.

Jenny Hval, Iris Silver Mist
The Norwegian art-pop songwriter’s seventh album aims to incorporate senses beyond sound to more completely immerse the listener (and smeller) into her constructed domestic space.
