Elder, Through Zero
With their seventh LP, the heavy psych-rockers demonstrate what experimental majesty a band can create when they’ve spent two decades working to play together on the same wavelength.
Future Islands, From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth
The synthpop outfit celebrates 20 years together by propping up their lesser known material, affirming the value of these cutting-room-floor songs that the band knew they had all along.
Boards of Canada, Inferno
The Scottish duo’s first album in 13 years is their most evocative yet, presenting a series of down-tuned tones and dark chordal scores rippling with cryptic samples and robo-voice blips.
