Glixen, Quiet Pleasures
Compelling yet uneven, the strongest compositions on the Phoenix shoegazers’ sophomore EP are often also the most experimental.

Anxious, Bambi
Calling back to the “big swing” pop-punk records from the turn of the millennium, the Connecticut band’s sophomore release is emotionally intelligent and impressively fine-tuned.

Patterson Hood, Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams
The Drive-By Truckers frontman’s first solo album in over a decade both softens and complicates the alt-country band’s barroom-rock formula, distinguishing itself to mixed results.
