Wisp, If Not Winter
Natalie Lu’s debut leans into the “pop” side of dream pop, exploring the double-edged sword of yearning with big builds and a combination of delicacy and pummeling sound.

The Armed, The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to Be Destroyed
The Detroit punks’ sixth album is a consistent, melodic post-hardcore assault, maintaining a relentless pummeling in defiance to the system as much as it is to their recent pop streak.

OK Cool, Chit Chat
The Chicago duo pull the strings taut on their emo-pop debut, adding piano passages, guitar theatrics, and other flourishes to their established college-radio-rock sound.
