Towa Bird, Gentleman
The shred-bending guitarist is out for blood on her second LP as she channels femme-punk fury and four-on-the-floor disco beats into songs aiming to bust the heads of the pop patriarchy.
Telehealth, Green World Image
The Seattle band mashes up Millennial malaise with ’80s synthpunk and biting satire on a playful second LP that crowds out the more emotional elements with terminally online irony.
Nara’s Room, Tearless, thoughtless
The Brooklyn band bring more dimension to their sound on a magnetic second record that’s framed by a mix of analog technology and Y2K aesthetics.
