Jessie Ware, Superbloom
Three albums into her tenure as a pure-pleasure purveyor, Ware leans into the featherweight grooves of the ABBA era for a smooth yet occasionally frictionless epilogue to the trilogy.
Nine Inch Noize, Nine Inch Noize
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Boys Noize continue their collaborative streak by looking back on the NIN canon with a skull-fucking, metal-electro collab of thumping, throbbing songcraft.
Yot Club, Simpleton
Littered with existential concerns about what is truly real versus carefully curated presentation, Ryan Kaiser wrestles with American suburbia on his third album of indie-surf tunes.
Tim Sommer
Poised, exotic, and engaging from start to finish, the English jangle-pop outfit’s unexpected delight of a 17th studio album is a magical soundtrack for this uncertain spring.
