Rhys Langston, Pale Black Negative
The LA-based artist’s most comprehensive foray into genre abolition yet is a whirlwind of artistic exploration that sees the songwriter coloring well outside of hip-hop’s lines.

The Singaporean indie rockers’ jangly fifth record proselytizes the beauty of the natural world, providing hope with deliriously catchy tunes that channel ’90s groups like Superchunk and GBV.
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Phantom Island
The Australian band’s growing comfort performing with orchestra musicians results in a bolder, brighter, more engaging, and more direct album than its predecessor.
