Devendra Banhart, Cripple Crow [20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition]
Further extending the LP’s dimensions, this reissue adds a third disc of outtakes, B-sides, and demos that only serve to fortify the project’s sonic asymmetry and emotional, quixotic lyricism.

Die Spitz, Something to Consume
With their Will Yip–produced debut, the Austin punk quartet has something to say about postmodern society in 11 metal-fusion tracks ripe with political turmoil and skatepark angst.

Shame, Cutthroat
The UK rockers don’t mince words on their fourth studio album, pairing their infectious proto-punk grooves with nakedly hedonistic lyrics.

On the Vancouver punks’ dynamic fourth album, growth is the name of the game.

Often built out of only one or two phrases, each of “Primitive”‘s tracks has something hypnotic at its core, reinforcing the adage that there is beauty in simplicity.

Guitarist/vocalist Hutch Harris’s wonderfully nasal tone and the band’s pessimistic Portland attitude models a perfect outlet for frantic frustrations and life’s bigger questions.
