Dua Saleh, Of Earth & Wires
The Sudanese-American songwriter’s second album blends R&B and electronic pop with spoken-word poetry to create a tapestry of lush sounds and mythic language.
Kraftwerk, Radio-Activity [50th Anniversary Edition]
This re-release presents a band that’s palatably gleeful to have figured out their formula with an astonishingly cohesive and weirdly poppy picture of a Cold War–fogged world.
Towa Bird, Gentleman
The shred-bending guitarist is out for blood on her second LP as she channels femme-punk fury and four-on-the-floor disco beats into songs aiming to bust the heads of the pop patriarchy.
