Danny Elfman, Bigger. Messier.
This remixed odds and ends collection is longer, denser, more disorderly, and less refined than the composer’s solo effort from last year.

Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Reset
These colorful, multilayered songs flow from Noah Lennox and Pete Kember as they avoid the prickliness of other pandemic releases.

Emily Yacina, All the Things: A Decade of Songs

The queen of self-love’s sophomore major-label effort is an album filled with gratitude and a push for new beginnings.

Clover’s debut takes themes related to love and cranks it up a notch, provoking a sense of fear to go along with a narrative that often feels akin to Bonnie and Clyde.

Two years after its release, the West Coast duo is rereleasing the sunny LP as a deluxe package featuring a few new cuts.

The latest from René Kladzyk highlights the sadness that comes with the holiday season.

The latest from the Chicago group sounds wholly futuristic while lyrically placing the listener in the all-too-familiar present.
