Bob Mould, Here We Go Crazy
Explicitly pitched as a response to the unrest of early 2025, the former Hüsker Dü leader’s first album in five years continues to confidently summon instant-earworm hooks and visceral thrills.

Vundabar, Surgery and Pleasure

Informed by the dualities of harm and healing, the English saxophonist and poet weaves a tapestry of sounds—spiritual jazz, folk, classical, and beyond—into a potent missive of grace.
