The Locust, The Peel Sessions [Reissue]
Recorded in 2001, originally released in 2010, and newly remastered, there’s a bristling energy that runs through this EP that maximizes the weird terror of these 16 bursts of grindcore.
Mac Miller, Balloonerism
This unearthed material collects a cohesive set of world-weary character studies examining the slippery slide of self-medication—even if it’s only an interpretation of the late artist’s vision.
Frank Black, Teenager of the Year [30th Anniversary Edition]
Bolder, weirder, and less Pixies-like than his solo debut, this vast collection of contagious pop vibes and oddball character studies remains Black Francis’ finest musical moment on his own.
