King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Phantom Island
The Australian band’s growing comfort performing with orchestra musicians results in a bolder, brighter, more engaging, and more direct album than its predecessor.
Murder by Death, Egg & Dart
Each song on the Louisville-based gothic-Americana band’s final album is its own requiem, a tender farewell accepting of its fate.
The Bug Club, Very Human Features
Another collection of relentlessly charming and eccentric garage rock, this fifth album doubles down on the Welsh band’s signature stylized-raw production and unusual lyrics.
