Lorde, Virgin
The pop star retains the tainted-love throb of electro rhythm on a fourth LP that’s high on affection, low on gloss, and geared toward transcendence and sneaky sexuality.
Frankie Cosmos, Different Talking
Greta Kline’s sixth album finds her clicking with her new band, lending these songs a DIY quality reminiscent of her early demos despite digging into themes exclusive to adulthood.
BC Camplight, A Sober Conversation
The UK-via-NJ songwriter’s blackly comic neo-chamber-pop missive on sobriety still manages to speak to the upbeat without a snip of excess emotion.
