Rhys Langston, Pale Black Negative
The LA-based artist’s most comprehensive foray into genre abolition yet is a whirlwind of artistic exploration that sees the songwriter coloring well outside of hip-hop’s lines.
Subsonic Eye, Singapore Dreaming
The Singaporean indie rockers’ jangly fifth record proselytizes the beauty of the natural world, providing hope with deliriously catchy tunes that channel ’90s groups like Superchunk and GBV.
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Phantom Island
The Australian band’s growing comfort performing with orchestra musicians results in a bolder, brighter, more engaging, and more direct album than its predecessor.
