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.
BRUIT ≤, The Age of Ephemerality
The French post-rock band lyrically addresses the unthinkable progress and regression of our post-internet age via droning metal and modern-classical sound on their second LP.
Fly Anakin, (The) Forever Dream
The Virginia rapper’s guest-filled latest is a stellar collection of bright, diverse, and downright gorgeous hip-hop that’s so light-on-its-feet it can sometimes feel like it’s sweeping you off yours.
