Ovlov TRU
TRU, Ovlov's first album in five years, manages to distinguish itself since it calls back to a time when tuneful melodicism demanded big and bold affirmations.

Deafheaven Ordinary Corrupt Human Love
The chameleonic death metal group want to make something meaningful, magical even, on Ordinary Corrupt Human Love. It is, like most of their polarizing body of work, equal parts off-putting and fiercely inclusive.

Florence and the Machine's uneven fourth album proves that hope is really what kills you.

Nine Inch Nails Bad Witch
In Nine Inch Nails' most experimental album yet, Trent Reznor looks for and fails to find easy answers to complicated questions. But the journey leads him down a rabbit hole of industrial clang, trip-hop percussions and Bowie-like jazz breakdowns.

Flasher Constant Image
On Constant Image, the Washington, DC trio align their nervy compositional chops with a broader, fuller sound the goes beyond post-punk's homespun simplicity.

Oneohtrix Point Never Age Of
Daniel Lopatin presents a truly beguiling set with his ninth full-length effort, Age Of. That he's a relative veteran in the discography stakes should not indicate any mellowing or simplification of sound.
