Billie Marten, Dog Eared
The British indie-folk songwriter’s fifth album is aided by a full-band even in its most personal moments, as Marten reflects on indelible scenes from childhood as seen through adult eyes.

Flooding, Object 1
The Kansas City trio ushers in a new kind of tenderness with an EP running the gamut from slowcore to screamo, one that’s vulnerable and violent and completely captivating.

Clipse, Let God Sort Em Out
Paired with familiar high-gloss minimalism courtesy of producer Pharrell Williams, Pusha T and Malice’s first album in 16 years stands up fairly well as an assured re-up of their rap powers.
