Andrew W.K. God is Partying
Following 2018's You're Not Alone, which had Andrew W.K. acting as a motivational self-help coach, the relatively more grim God is Partying is his sharpest pivot yet. It still rocks though.

Sometimes I Might Be Introvert is an open window into the deep and private thoughts the London-based wants to share with us, aware that there's strength in being vulnerable.

The electronic duo's joyful third album has no misleading messages or presumptuous metaphors. It's exactly what it sounds like: an open letter to celebrate life and love, which is not a small thing.

Liars The Apple Drop
The Apple Drop sounds like the reclaiming of what Liars founding member Angus Andrew had lost in the past four years after longtime member Aaron Hemphill left the band. His sense of menace remains, though possessing a higher level of maturing and confidence that can only come from 20 years of experimenting with the project.
