Julien Baker Little Oblivions
After 2017's spare, confessional Turn Out the Lights, the Nashville singer-songwriter's third LP once again offers a window into her personal struggles but with a full band to boot. Just like its predecessor, it's hard yet alluring to hear.

Steven Wilson The Future Bites
On The Future Bites, the veteran english multi-instrumentalist falls into an understandable quandary that many art rock artists have found themselves in before: social commentary. He finds himself doubling down on the nonsense and scrapping subtext altogether.
