Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Laughter in Summer
The emotional new collection from the 82-year-old composer/vocalist is full of sedative new-age sounds and smartly executed art-pop that skews toward the pastoral and elegiac.
MØL, Dreamcrush
The Danish group hones their tantalizing blend of shoegaze and black metal on their third album, balancing heartfelt passages suitable for airplay with all-out assaults.
Silversun Pickups, Tenterhooks
Largely eschewing the distortion-doused approach of their early material, the dreamy LA rockers’ seventh record is a cohesive body of work rather than a gumball machine for singles.
