Model/Actriz, Pirouette

The NYC-based project’s second album delights in its confident sense of chaos, with vocalist Cole Haden knowing full well there’s no way we’re going to avert our gaze for a single moment.

Car Seat Headrest, The Scholars

Channeling Ziggy Stardust’s glam transcendence, Will Toledo resurrects the album as a grandiose narrative vehicle while marking his valiant stride into the rock canon.

Andy Bell, Ten Crowns

The Erasure frontman works out something open and anthemic on his latest solo album, with producer Dave Audé adding subtler shades to his post-house pop mix.
