Neil Young, Coastal: The Soundtrack
Documenting his 2023 tour, Young’s umpteenth live album both simplifies the noise of Crazy Horse’s recent recordings and solidly renders familiar hits in a solo setting.

Adrian Younge, Something About April III
The third and final installment of his vintage psych-soul trilogy sees the songwriter bring the large history of Brazil into a tight narrative revolving around young love and class struggle.

Julien Baker & TORRES, Send a Prayer My Way

The cult UK quintet find a sense of clarity in their IDM-pop sound with introspective, chromatic, moving pieces on their most intentional, polished production to date.

The infectious Boston trio’s sixth album adds some complexity to their signature jangle with darker, rougher textures, though its lyrics don’t always live up to the music’s maturity level.

Boasting lush electronic soundscapes and complex themes of modern dystopia, the Hull quartet’s third album feels more nuanced than their prior indie-rock discography.

Ahead of their reunion tour, the cult indie-pop band resurrects lost classics from the bittersweet era of nostalgia that encircled their eponymous 2009 debut.

Recorded direct-to-acetate over the summer at Jack White’s Nashville label HQ, the NYC post-punk institution’s new live LP offers listeners a spot at the barricade.

The Swedish quartet bare their teeth on their third EP as they tear through five songs about frustration and resistance, aided by grungy production from Alex Farrar.
