The Los Angeles Issue

Goon, Dream 3
Both brighter-eyed and harder-hearted, the LA quartet return with a third LP of full-bodied psych-shoegaze which settles deeply into Kenny Becker’s cataclysmic transitional life period.

Ólafur Arnalds & Talos, A Dawning
This seamless collaboration fuses the Icelandic composer’s gentle, piano-based soundscapes with the late Irish artist’s poignant electronica and singular voice without ever feeling saccharine.

Gina Birch, Trouble
This second solo LP moves further into the Raincoats co-founder’s melodic mix of dub-rock, neo-jazz, skeletal R&B, and space-pop as she continues to eschew creature comforts.
