Wednesday – Rat Saw God
Wednesday’s fifth album finds them capturing everyday minutiae through the barren landscapes of rural America.
Indie Rock
Hamish Hawk – Angel Numbers
Hamish Hawk is an outsider’s outsider with a fast-track ticket to natural treasure status.
The Murder Capital – Gigi’s Recovery
The Dublin quintet’s second album is a giant leap forward.
Alvvays – Blue Rev
The Canadian band delivers perfection on their third album.
Wet Leg – Wet Leg
Wet Leg’s hotly anticipated self-titled debut is no slapped-together producer’s vision of what the kids should like. Its authenticity is what makes it so addictive, so accessible.
Nilüfer Yanya – PAINLESS
Nilüfer Yanya draws strength from her emotional resilience on PAINLESS.
Big Thief – Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You
To borrow a turn of phrase, Big Thief focus on, quite literally, the journey and not the destination. The result is the most compelling case in years on the potential of the journey—the insights to be gleaned, the friendships to be strengthened, your own potential waiting to be untapped.
