FLOOD

For this Bartees Strange–produced third record, the emo trio explore how Black genius often goes ignored.

This 2015 performance from Conor Oberst’s punk band pays less attention to being in tune than it does to turning the rage of the songs into tangible energy.

The duo’s first full-length in almost nine years recaptures the glory of their earlier days more than the path of slight self-parody they had occasionally veered into since.

While there are slivers of Superchunk, early R.E.M., The Lemonheads, and Hüsker Dü here, the Liverpool punks’ debut also shimmers with its own distinct personality.

We caught up with Blake Schwarzenbach ahead of the punk trio’s belated 25-year anniversary tour for their last record, which kicks off tonight.

This third album of black metal incorporating African-American spirituals steps further into the future while reasserting the gruesome events of the past.

The balance between light and dark is both more pronounced and more nuanced than ever before on the British metal band’s sixth album.

The addition of live recordings, B-sides, and covers from the era provide great context for this album, adding to its dark, gritty atmosphere.

The group’s 5th LP tones down the dark, nervous energy that was previously at the core of their identity.

The duo’s 13th full-length often sounds less like a collection of songs than a manifestation of the frequency of existence.

This 11th studio album isn’t as cohesive as some of the band’s previous efforts, but it shows they’re still evolving.

Mikaiah Lei discusses the new perspective that influenced his sophomore album that was seven years in the making.

Beneath the facepalm titles on the band’s third full-length lie songs full of heart, purpose, and meaning.

Chris Simpson also talks the past, present, and future of the band in a Q&A about his accompanying vinyl reissue project.

The third full-length from Jack Antonoff feels devoid of heart and soul, fizzling and fading forgettably into the background.

The Daughters vocalist’s solo debut captures the collapse of society over the course of a tormented, uneven 9 tracks.

The posthumous debut from the New Hollywood actress is an album of ghosts and haunted hearts.

There’s still darkness present on the noise rock band’s latest EP, but it’s more of a shadow than an abyss.
