Dry Cleaning – Secret Love
On their third LP, the London post-punk band draws out glimmering bits of truth from their abstract inclinations.
Post-Punk
Shame – Cutthroat
The South London five-piece balance accessibility and experimentation with mixed results.
Lifeguard – Ripped & Torn
The young Chicago trio paves the way for the next generation of art punks on their scuzzed-up, yet tuneful major indie label debut LP. Juan Edgardo Rodríguez reviews.
Viagra Boys – Cave World
The searing third album by the Swedish post-punk renegades is a manifesto on stupidity, taking their depraved, ideologically-charged satire into more sonically adventurous territory.
Dry Cleaning – New Long Leg
New Long Leg was constructed in pieces on a wiped-down, passed-around tape deck—the new pandemic normal. It could easily have suffered for it, but the production is masterful.
Fontaines D.C. – A Hero’s Death
Fontaines D.C. widen their scope on their second full-length.
Protomartyr – Relatives in Descent
Protomartyr's fourth LP and first for Domino expands of their consistently impressive early work.
