Paul McCartney, The Boys of Dungeon Lane
On his 20th album, the octogenarian pop-rock architect builds a time machine out of scuffed acoustic guitars, warm tape hiss, and the kind of indelible melodies that cast a long shadow.
Iceage, For Love of Grace & the Hereafter
By returning to the rustic environment that birthed their mid-career peak, the Danish post-punks rekindle their core artistic flame with a masterclass in controlled chaos.
Sparta, Cut a Silhouette
Produced by Jawbox’s J. Robbins and featuring songs written by MCR’s Frank Iero, the post-hardcore band’s third album since reuniting sees them firing on all cylinders from start to end.
