FLOOD

The Britpop band feels right at home at the iconic London venue as the 17-track setlist recorded last August shows off their range.

The Brooklyn-based songwriter’s highly collaborative third LP is a moody work reflecting on the ever-expanding cosmos—and the imprisoned eyes of Petco lizards.

Nick Thorburn’s project returns to their Canadian roots on their tenth album, a charming collection spattered with dark folk reflection, rock-pop swagger, and dream-pop pops of color.

The Portland group’s first release on their own label is a fun combination of loose-knit folk and powerful prog odyssey, feeling like both a fresh start and a return to familiar form.

Composer and multi-instrumentalist Tom Holkenborg delves into his second musical work in the Wasteland with longtime collaborator George Miller.

The Scottish duo gives our global village a fitting pre-apocalyptic soundtrack on their eighth album as they balance misanthropic lyrics with breezy, danceable synth-rock.

The LA-based indie-folk songwriter’s ghostly yet elegant fourth album is all smoke and light work—like the best noirs of the ’40s and ’50s if they were filmed in the druggy late-’60s.

The pop star’s soaring vocals are overshadowed by scattershot and overengineered production on her third album, as her team of songwriters’ styles clash more often than they mesh.

In addition to capturing some behind-the-scenes moments from rehearsals for their upcoming tour, we connected with Sam Beam and a few members of his current backing band to discuss how Light Verse, his first album in seven years, came together.

Sounding like a streamlined debut, the alt-pop songwriter’s third album propels the impact of her melodies by sanding down the electronic stylings and returning to her folk roots.

The indie rockers’ fifth album unfurls like a middle-aged plot twist, occasionally finding its balance between the band’s jammy origins and more recent experimental art-pop leanings.

Partially inspired by the film of the same name, the pop icon’s seventh album sees her perfecting familiar musical territory while attempting to wipe all the pain away.

The Brooklyn-based outfit’s sixth album brims with pretty jangle-pop melodies, though their familiar indie-surf sound lacks in experimentation.

Possessing a more live and ramshackle sound than their debut, the Radiohead offshoot’s latest experiment is firmly ensconced within the aesthetic fields of In Rainbows and A Moon Shaped Pool.

The Brooklyn-based songwriter continues her penchant for strong turns of phrase in the storied tradition of Americana music on her emotionally taut sophomore effort.

Collecting 20 songs from 20 years of the alt-rockers’ storied career, this compilation is a serviceable greatest-hits effort meant to elicit nostalgia without bringing anything new to the table.

Robert Pollard’s project’s surprisingly hi-fi 39th album shows its current lineup holding a torch for no-frills indie rock with no punches pulled.

On her third covers LP since 2018, the alt-rock songwriter takes on Jeff Lynne’s symphonic rock hits and deep cuts with a locked-down style that’s less theatrical than even her own recordings.

Dipping into both the chamber-folk balladry of his early career and his later electronic experimentation, Stevens’ 10th LP is a whispered statement that yells its intentions into the void.

For their 13th album, the longrunning alt-country group leans their mid-tempo rock melodies through Cate Le Bon’s layered production approach.
