The Rolling Stones, Foreign Tongues
The Stones come as close as they ever will to reckoning with their twilight years on a surprisingly effective 25th LP that finds them bringing a fresh spark to their signature sound.
Mary in the Junkyard, Role Model Hermit
The London art-rock trio’s Robert Eggers–like debut clings to the lattice of maritime folklore while examining the often-felt pendulum between craving isolation and intimacy.
Kelela, New Avatar
The songwriter’s earliest soul and jazz influences can be found swirling throughout her third album, which also expands into the realms of hypnotic electronic music and alt rock.
