Parquet Courts Human Performance
Parquet Courts' follow-up to Sunbathing Animal provides a broad canvas and fresh hues into a portrait of big-city living, where sardonic weariness coexists with raw emotions.

Weezer Weezer (White Album)
We've been through this before. Is it as good as Blue Album or Pinkerton?

Frankie Cosmos Next Thing
Next Thing doesn’t stray much from the style of Greta Kline’s contemporaries, but her tight, concise songwriting and ever-present wit succeed in setting her apart from the crowd.

Bob Mould Patch the Sky
The Hüsker Dü frontman's 12th solo release is one of his fiercest records to date, one that slightly tones down the personal qualms that marred Beauty & Ruin to go back and pay obeisance to the increasingly-forgotten tuneful qualities of classic alternative rock.

Miike Snow (AKA Bloodshy & Avant + Andrew Wyatt) are back and on top with iii.

Primal Scream Chaosmosis
Primal Scream's new album, Chaosmosis, is their attempt at a contemporary pop album, the kind of album a band makes when they’re trying to seem young again.

Lust for Youth wholly embrace a more dance-oriented pop sound on Compassion, though not without completely altering their usual chilly demeanor.

Pete Yorn Arranging Time
It's been a while since the last proper Pete Yorn album. He comes full circle on Arranging Time, not out of a need to revisit old haunts but to blaze the trail clean.

So Pitted neo
So Pitted’s Sub Pop debut, neo, is the work of a band whose potential is apparent, so long as their ambition doesn’t hold them back.

Sarah Neufeld The Ridge
Sarah Neufeld's second solo album is expansive, imaginative in melody and all-in-all, a tour-de-force for the violinist.
