Chat Pile, This Dungeon Earth/Remove Your Skin Please [Reissue]
This single-vinyl compendium welds together the two EP releases that preceded the OKC sludge-rockers’ formal introduction to the unwitting masses.

Lorde, Virgin
The pop star retains the tainted-love throb of electro rhythm on a fourth LP that’s high on affection, low on gloss, and geared toward transcendence and sneaky sexuality.

Frankie Cosmos, Different Talking
Greta Kline’s sixth album finds her clicking with her new band, lending these songs a DIY quality reminiscent of her early demos despite digging into themes exclusive to adulthood.
Mike LeSuer
