Dry Cleaning, Secret Love
With the help of producer Cate Le Bon, the South London quartet’s third album sands down their jagged post-punk edges into smooth, surreal pebbles of magical realism.
Various artists, Passages: Artists in Solidarity with Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers
These unheard tracks from Dirty Projectors, Daniel Lopatin, and more are hushed and raw, all crafted with the idea of evoking a sense of home to highlight those whose own are at risk.
HEALTH, Conflict DLC
The noise-rockers’ sixth LP is a full-on rush of nihilistic energy, a shattered disco ball serving as the perfect encapsulation of a world decimated by capitalistic greed at the expense of humanity.
