Reneé Rapp, Bite Me
The pop star’s big voice and actorly prowess help convince us that the choppy, Sapphic-punkish pop and curt, self-reproaching snipe of her second LP burrow deep into her soul.

$uicideboy$, Thy Kingdom Come
On their fifth proper LP, Ruby da Cherry and Scrim’s usually dense, trap-imbued soundscapes are open and airier, leaving more room for the duo and their guests to misery-wallow within.

Nuclear Daisies, First Taste of Heaven
The club-ready breakbeats and unrelenting experimentation on the Austin trio’s second LP serve as a deafening clarion call for humanity to get its act together before it’s too late.
