Joy Division, Eternal
With its recently discovered live volumes as its focus, this career-ranging box set valuably continues to lay flat the post-punk band’s sound at its most raw and unadorned.
Meg Lui, Instant Validation
Partnering with Sufjan Stevens on her perky debut album of freewheeling folk-pop, country-rock, and even sea shanties, the Catskills-based songwriter flits between genres with ease.
Empress Of, Dream House
On a prismatic album about reconstruction and fulfillment, the Honduran-American songwriter embodies pure-hearted conviction to remind us home is where the heart is.
