U2, Carnaval de Luz
Crisp, memorable melodies and a bemused-by-it-all lyrical focus lift the Irish quartet’s 16th studio album above the rest of their 21st century’s gray pallor.
2hollis, Pirouette
The digicore artist seeks to fully place us in the intense present with a candy-colored, speaker-blowing pop album—one that happens to also be almost feverishly in love.
NØ MAN, Between the Sword and the Neck
The DC hardcore punks’ fourth album cuts like a knife as it demands that the genocide of the Palestinian people be choked into submission.
