Pharaohs Replicant Moods
There's something disingenuous about Pharaohs' kitschy throwbacks to outdated analogue equipment, but something very honest about their love of early house music - and the result is a satisfying summer album, regardless of how "dated" it sounds.

Jenny Hval Innocence is Kinky
The Norwegian singer-songwriter delivers a dense, complex, yet immediately arresting record about feminist politics, the expressive power of music, and how the internet shapes subjectivity.

No Joy Wait to Pleasure
No Joy adheres to a shoegaze template that sticks true to genre, so pure in its homage that it probably delves straight into rip-off territory. And that's okay.
