Maya Hawke, Maitreya Corso
The actress and songwriter’s barely older, mostly wiser, and more wearily symbolic follow-up to 2024’s Chaos Angel sketches her commitments to love beyond the boundaries of her usual big ideas.
American Football, American Football (LP4)

Failure, Location Lost
The spacey grunge trio’s fourth post-reunion LP avoids trends in favor of songs that penetrate the heart—it’s as if they’ve finally found the magic they’ve had in themselves from the start.
