Kelsey Lu, So Help Me God
On their second LP, Lu taps Jack Antonoff and Yves Rothman to co-produce a fascinating tapestry of pop, R&B, electronica, classical, folk, and everything avant-garde in between.
Genghis Tron, Signal Fire
The cacophony of ideas on display on the transhumanist metal band’s dystopian fourth album reflects the relentless, manic digi-present we find ourselves in today.
Vince Staples, Cry Baby
On his first release away from Def Jam, the emcee spends more time looking outward than inward, peering into a communal politic with more rock to his roll than ever before.
