Various artists, Passages: Artists in Solidarity with Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers
These unheard tracks from Dirty Projectors, Daniel Lopatin, and more are hushed and raw, all crafted with the idea of evoking a sense of home to highlight those whose own are at risk.
HEALTH, Conflict DLC
The noise-rockers’ sixth LP is a full-on rush of nihilistic energy, a shattered disco ball serving as the perfect encapsulation of a world decimated by capitalistic greed at the expense of humanity.
Fucked Up, Year of the Goat
Made up of two nearly half-hour tracks, the hardcore experimentalists’ latest is artistically commendable and consistently intriguing, even if it tends to test the listener’s patience.
