No Obligation (CD)

The Linda Lindas

The Linda Lindas prove once again that they are one of the coolest, most rock 'n' roll bands in music today. On No Obligation , the band serves up scathing punk and irresistible power pop, informed by riot grrrl, indie rock, new wave, post-punk, and garage. The Linda Lindas set the tone right out the gate with the title track, a blistering basement punk jam, before somehow seamlessly shifting to a gorgeous yet gritty, droll and catchy mode via "All in My Head." As the album progresses, the energy never stops, with the band joyfully experimenting (and succeeding) with genre after genre. No Obligation is a thoroughly enjoyable, full-speed-ahead odyssey through underground rock 'n' roll.

Here in the Pitch (LP)

Jessica Pratt

Jessica Pratt is back with the intriguing, almost otherworldly Here in the Pitch . The songs sound like they've been piped in from some reality adjacent to our own: an alternative existence with all its multifold possibilities, a door leading to a place where the past yet lives. Part of that's due to the gauzy textures, the intimate lyrics, and the melange of genres from a bygone era. Pratt's compositions blend '60s pop, bossa nova, psychedelia and the slightly off-kilter, cinematic stylings of icons like Scott Walker and Judy Garland. It all works splendidly. A transportive, utterly beautiful album that's unlike anything else out there.

Heavy Lifting (CD)

MC5

Detroit proto-punk trailblazers return with their first album since 1971, Heavy Lifting . While it is the return of a version of the band, it will also prove to be their last, as founder and core member Wayne Kramer passed in 2024, after recording had concluded. While the band is represented primarily by Kramer, original drummer Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson played on two tracks before his passing, also in 2024. Joined by rock royalty like Slash, Vernon Reid, Tom Morello and legendary producer Bob Ezrin, the Motor City 5 hammer down a hard-rockin' bookend to their storied career.

Dreamstate (CD)

Kelly Lee Owens

Working through the ending of a relationship through music is not a new theme, but Kelly Lee Owens has turned the exercise into an uplifting, empowering turning point on Dreamstate. Collaborating with The Chemical Brothers, the Welsh artist and producer is releasing her first album for DH2, the electronic-minded label imprint of Dirty Hit. Following a successful multi-country tour supporting Depeche Mode, Owens elevates and expounds upon her previous work, infusing an airy lightness and an occasional string arrangement into a shimmering fusion of electronic bliss.

Crimes [Bubblegum Pink & Baby Blue Vinyl] (LP)

The Blood Brothers

The mad masterpiece that is The Blood Brothers' Crimes album is getting a 20th-anniversary reissue. The band's intense blend of post-hardcore, post-punk, a bit of funk, and a lot of frenzied weirdness still sounds utterly arresting, unlike anything else out there. Out on bubblegum pink and baby blue vinyl, it's a limited release that captures the full-throttle pleasures of the band's live shows. An exhilarating, raucous, and unpredictable thrill ride of an album.

Like All Before You (CD)

The Voidz

Julian Casablancas continues to evolve his sound on the latest from The Voidz. Like All Before You blends moody post-punk with woozy new wave and retro futurist dance punk. Leaning into his experimental side, Casablancas has created a truly surprising and exciting album, with the songs morphing from New Agey synth soundscapes to Daft Punk-esque vocoder vocals to gloomy goth rock dirges. Like All Before You is dynamic and inventive, exhilarating and astonishing.

Mantras (CD)

Katie Pruitt

The second studio album by Nashville singer/songwriter Katie Pruitt deals in self-discovery, escape from a religious upbringing, and personal validation. "All My Friends" is a strong opener with a catchy chorus, followed by the affecting "White Lies, White Jesus and You," whose gentle intro bursts into a driving song with a powerful chorus. Shrewd, relatable lyrics abound here, delivered in Pruitt's straightforward, pretty vocals. The ballad "Blood Related" offers poignant family drama and "Worst Case Scenario" tackles facing one's fears: "What if I gave up control? Instead of getting caught up in these hypotheticals?"

Slipping Away (CD)

Tim Heidecker

im Heidecker's Slipping Away is a warm, inviting, excellent collection of '70s-inspired rock. The songs are homespun and cozy, a lovely container for Heidecker's thoughtful, vulnerable lyrics. The melodies often serve as a contrast to the heavier themes Heidecker explores throughout the album: known as half of the cult fave comedy duo Tim & Eric, these bittersweet, sincere songs aren't afraid to get serious. That's what makes Slipping Away so special. The album blends light and dark, delivering well-crafted, sunny tracks that go straight to the heart.

Cutouts (CD)

The Smile

The latest outing from The Smile will get under your skin. Cutouts is haunting and compelling, with some melodic flourishes and vocal lines that'll leave you breathless. The songs simmer with the pent-up intensity that bubbles beneath the surface of this enjoyably unpredictable listen. At times the vibe is moody, atmospheric, devastatingly beautiful. At others, the band leans into motorik, tightly-wound melodies and percussion that'll sweep listeners up into a frenetic, dynamic mirror of contemporary 24/7 culture. The members of The Smile all have impeccable track records for creating affecting, unforgettable songs and Cutouts ranks among their best.

Flying Away (CD)

Jon Muq

The debut album by Uganda-born, Austin-based artist Jon Muq is a strong set of soulful tunes with catchy melodies. His sensitive vocals are matched by moody basslines and gently building arrangements on the excellent first two tracks, "Runaway" and "One You Love." Muq segues into accessible folk-pop later with songs like "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying" and "Hello Sunshine." "Dark Door" is a pretty ballad highlighted by a soulful vocal performance.

All Life Long (CD)

Kali Malone

Kali Malone's All Life Long is moving and majestic, a testament to the enduring, sacred power of music. The American-born, Stockholm-based composer and organist wrote these songs for pipe organ, choir, and brass quintet over the course of three years. They're imbued with a sense of mystery and awe, melancholy and transcendence. The voices belong to the Macadam Ensemble, with conducting by Etienne Ferschaud at Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-L'Immaculée-Conception in Nantes, France. Anima Brass handles, yes, the brass. And Kali Malone and Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))) play the historic pipe organs of Église Saint-François in Lausanne, France, Orgelpark in The Netherlands, and Malmö Konstmuseum in Sweden. All Life Long is a masterpiece.

Rationale (LP)

Glitterer

Branching out from his roots in Title Fight, Ned Russin has elevated Glitterer from a one-man side project to a fully formed band on Rationale . Russin and company pluck moments of shiny synth from the '80s, fuse them together with '90s fist-pumping alternative rock and 00's shoegaze and pop and you're getting a sense of what to expect from Rationale .
