Jawdropped – Secret to Spare
Jawdropped add their own spin to ‘90s alternative rock, with sharp performances and even sharper songwriting.
Hurry – Zoned Out
Philadelphia power pop stalwarts Hurry have delivered the goods on their consistently appealing sixth album.
Vince Staples – Cry Baby
For all the noisy guitars, there is so much more to Cry Baby—lyrically, thematically, and even musically—that exemplifies the very best of Hip Hop.
Olivia Rodrigo – You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love
Moving past the brash pop-punk of GUTS, Rodrigo‘s third LP leans into an 80s alternative pulse that matches the bittersweet feelings it evokes.
MONO – Snowdrop
The Japanese post-rock veterans honour long-time producer Steve Albini on their wonderful thirteenth album.
Liz Lawrence – Vespers
Liz Lawrence’s Vespers—a beautiful tribute to her late sister Jessie’s tragically short life—will undoubtedly resonate with listeners seeking comfort and understanding in times of grief.
