Overmono, Pure Devotion
The sibling duo’s second album encapsulates a contemporary fusion of popular approaches to electronic music, one that’s imbued with a sense of familiar emotional weight.
John Carpenter, Cathedral
The Halloween composer-director’s latest effort is a synth-heavy metal album planned as a soundtrack to his first-ever graphic novel, though both endeavors stand on their own merits.
Ariana Grande, Petal
The pop star’s eighth record finds roots in resilience, twisted romance, and unsparing musings on fame, though it never quite ascends to the extravagant spectacle it sets the stage for.
