Silversun Pickups, Tenterhooks
Largely eschewing the distortion-doused approach of their early material, the dreamy LA rockers’ seventh record is a cohesive body of work rather than a gumball machine for singles.
Ulrika Spacek, EXPO
The London quintet’s fourth LP takes their previous psychedelic wanderings into more abstract territory as it paints a painfully honest portrait of modern fracture and isolation.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Howl [20th Anniversary Edition]
The garage-psych trio honor the underappreciated third album that gave them a second wind with a three-LP set featuring a photo album, handwritten lyrics, and more goodies from the era.
