Cut Worms, Transmitter
Produced by Jeff Tweedy, Max Clarke’s fourth album tampers down the luster of past records, grounding aspects of the indie-folk songwriter’s music that once seemed impossibly pristine.
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.
