The Tubs, Hard Life
With its well-curated influences and almost uncomfortably human lyrics, the London jangle-punk quartet’s third LP finds charm and combustible energy in its intersection of bleakness and pep.
Pixies, Bossanova [2026 Remaster]
This newly manicured version of the alt-rockers’ ersatz-divisive 1990 LP is so well-executed from start to finish that it’s impossible to forget that you’re not listening to the original version.
Ezra Collective, Here Because of Hope
The UK jazz quintet are determined to heal while acknowledging pain on their soulful fourth LP of deeply jubilant, genre-bending, and compassionate odes to the enduring power of hope.
Michael Duncan
On the Vancouver punks’ dynamic fourth album, growth is the name of the game.

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.
