Andy Bell, Ten Crowns
The Erasure frontman works out something open and anthemic on his latest solo album, with producer Dave Audé adding subtler shades to his post-house pop mix.
Viagra Boys, viagr aboys
The Swedish post-punks’ fourth album combines half-assed humor with half-assed performances, filling in the void left by guitar-centric punk with demented synth tinkering.
Sunflower Bean, Mortal Primetime
The New York trio’s first self-produced album has a smooth, consistent, quietly confident sound quality that reflects the elegance that’s always been at their core.
