Kacey Musgraves, Middle of Nowhere
Awash in twang and thick pedal steel, the country star’s seventh album explores the solitary no man’s land that exists between the ending of one relationship and the beginning of another.
Kneecap, Fenian

youbet, youbet
Penetratingly exact and proudly undefinable, Nick Llobet’s first album since expanding the project to a duo adds more definition to the sinewy, searching palette of their previous material.
