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.
Shakey Graves, Fondness, Etc.
Alejandro Rose-Garcia’s latest record embodies change and the fleeting process of creation as it finds a peculiar middle ground between heartwarming and haunting.
