Devendra Banhart, Cripple Crow [20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition]
Further extending the LP’s dimensions, this reissue adds a third disc of outtakes, B-sides, and demos that only serve to fortify the project’s sonic asymmetry and emotional, quixotic lyricism.

Die Spitz, Something to Consume
With their Will Yip–produced debut, the Austin punk quartet has something to say about postmodern society in 11 metal-fusion tracks ripe with political turmoil and skatepark angst.

Shame, Cutthroat
The UK rockers don’t mince words on their fourth studio album, pairing their infectious proto-punk grooves with nakedly hedonistic lyrics.
Reed Strength

In 2008, Atlanta’s preeminent indie rock band made a record to become more than just that—but only tentatively so.

The Portland trio called it quits this week, but for many, they leave behind a fiery legacy that can’t be put out.

The proggy psych septet destroyed any traditional conception of a release cycle last year, but each of their five LPs are worth talking about on their own.

With an art exhibit and a debut solo album to offer, the ever-busy lyricist and visual artist opens up on his creative process with expected verbosity and frankness.

To love The War on Drugs, to gain a deeper understanding like the title of their latest album suggests, is to constantly return to the echoing canyons of dreamy classic rock they’ve spent over a decade now forming.
