Sparks, MAD!
The Mael brothers’ 26th album purrs with sincere longings dedicated to romantic splits, though ultimately remains true to the duo’s idiosyncratic melody and tongue-in-cheek lyricism.
These New Puritans, Crooked Wing
The interplay of organ and voice throughout the Essex band’s fifth album creates a haunting document of the modern world wrestling for coexistence with the old world.
Pelican, Flickering Resonance
The tone of the Chicago post-metal band’s first album in six years feels triumphant, like ascending the peak of the mountain that adorns its cover.
