MEMORIALS, All Clouds Bring Not Rain
The genre-hopping fifth LP from Verity Susman and Matthew Simms is more ornate and ambitious than their earlier material, though ultimately the whole is lesser than the sum of the parts.
Filth Is Eternal, Impossible World
Vibrant, dexterous, and unrelentingly compelling, the Seattle hardcore-punks’ fourth album sees them mature into a band adept at writing songs lasting more than two minutes.
Arlo Parks, Ambiguous Desire
Vulnerability is baked into the heartbeat of the British songwriter’s third album with an aching groove lifted to new levels courtesy of the ecstasy of dance music.
