Bleachers, Everyone for Ten Minutes
The bigness that Jack Antonoff holds on his band’s latest album is dedicated to the human spirit and the hope of something better—and rockier—for our future.
Lowertown, Ugly Duckling Union
The NYC duo return to their DIY roots on their creatively unbridled second LP, turning a highly unusual concept into something rather heartfelt and wonkily majestic.
Hammock, The Second Coming Was a Moonrise
The Nashville veterans blend the understated melancholia of dream pop with the more dramatic scale of post-rock on their latest album with a nice push-and-pull effect.
