Madonna, Confessions II
Reteaming with producer Stuart Price for a sequel to her 2005 nu-disco LP, the pop star capitalizes on the velvet cordiality of her vocals with a sparkling new brand of arrangements.
Smirk, Speculative Fiction
On his most purposeful and driven release yet, Nick Vicario teams up with members of Hotline TNT, Poison Ruin, and Ceremony for a mid-tempo homage to ’80s horror-punk.
Pixies, Complete B-Sides 1988-97 [Reissue]
Neatly charting the band’s evolution from noise militants to pop eccentrics, the first-ever vinyl release of this collection reminds us that Pixies’ trash was often purer than their peers’ gold.
