José González, Against the Dying of the Light
With his fifth album, the Swedish songwriter considers his deepest of existential queries while maintaining the effervescent, seductive sound that’s the strongest through line in his career.
Courtney Barnett, Creature of Habit
Still flatliningly deadpan, the Australian songwriter uses the back-and-forth fear of the new as a start point for further depth-diving and confession on her fourth solo album.
The Twilight Sad, It’s the Long Goodbye
The sixth album from the Scottish proponents of existential angst is centered around the intertwining duality of death and life, fueled in turn by feelings of despair, disbelief, and defiance.
