The Los Angeles Issue
Soft Cell, The Art of Falling Apart [Super Deluxe Edition]
This six-disc collection expands upon the aggression, industrialism, and pernicious lyrics of the duo’s 1983 LP—a revenge, of sorts, on becoming pin-up darlings of the British new wave.
Miguel, Caos
The alt-R&B star’s fifth album embraces existential lyrical concepts to match its dusky jazz-electro sound, industrial ambience, and grouchy fuzzed guitars.
Just Mustard, We Were Just Here
The Irish noise-rockers throw stones at their shoegaze glass castle on their third LP, a heavy-padded experiment in hypnosis that manages to channel a sense of euphoric mania.
