Worry Club, I’m Freaking Out
The debut album from Midwestern bedroom-pop songwriter Chase Walsh consistently feels authentic as it addresses grief and anxiety as universal truths.
Maria BC, Marathon
The experimental songwriter maintains the haunting delicacies of acoustic guitar and piano on a more fluid third album, while just as frequently counterweaving billowing distortion.
Gorillaz, The Mountain
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s guest-packed ninth album is a different kind of Gorillaz record—frequently interior, occasionally existential, surprisingly heartfelt.
