Gorillaz, The Mountain
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s guest-packed ninth album is a different kind of Gorillaz record—frequently interior, occasionally existential, surprisingly heartfelt.
GENA, The Pleasure Is Yours
Karriem Riggins and Liv.e’s collaborative debut beautifully plays to both of their strengths, resulting in a colorful and delightfully laid-back collection of neo-soul and jazz-rap.
Iron & Wine, Hen’s Teeth
A heavier fraternal twin to 2024’s Light Verse, Sam Beam’s unlikely eighth album hums through the speakers like a quiet, sudden revelation.
