Hole, Pretty on the Inside [Reissue]
Featuring denser, remastered sound and its original bonus 12-inch, the deluxe version of the grunge icons’ debut is a claustrophobic, jam-packed, corrosive epic.
Lily Seabird, Lightspheres on Their Way
The indie-folk songwriter’s elegiac second LP for Lame-O truly shines when her unrestrained emotion meets the full, honey-slide rancor of her band and its influences.
Dawn Richard, Creole Culture
Made in homage to the vibrancy of New Orleans’ musical history, the eclectic R&B artist’s first solo album in five years is all giddy momentum.
