Kronos Quartet + Mary Kouyoumdjian, Witness
Recorded in remembrance of the victims of the Armenian genocide, the quartet’s work with the documentarian-composer is at turns gorgeous, brutal, and awe-stricken.
Rebecca Black, Salvation
An intoxicating blend of Y2K aesthetics and bubblegum pop, Black’s second album is a celebration of her musical evolution from internet laughing stock to hyperpop powerhouse.
Hamilton Leithauser, This Side of the Island
The Walkmen vocalist finds an exquisite balance of raspy, lounge-lizard crooning and angsty art-rocking on a solo album full of distressed lyricism and black humor.
