Of Montreal, Aethermead
Kevin Barnes rallies something bracingly emotional on their 20th album in 30 years, sounding more crisply, contagiously, singularly psychedelic than they have in ages.
Olivia Rodrigo, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love
Teetering between the influences of ’80s new wave and ’90s alt-rock, the pop star’s third album is a journey from jubilant lovesickness to a fatalistic collapse into romantic decay.
Goose, Big Modern!
At once their most even-keeled and explosively hook-crowded album yet, the jam-grinding ensemble’s latest is a stretch toward something uniquely slick and end-timey.
