Hold (CD)

Wild Nothing

Virginia singer-songwriter Jack Tatum, aka Wild Nothing, gets a little help from friends Becca Minari, Molly Burch, and members of Beach Fossils and Hatchie on his fifth album, Hold . Tatum overlays funky, dancey grooves underneath sincere lyrics laying bare his trials and tumultuous times.

But Here We Are (CD)

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters return with But Here We Are , their first album since the passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins. (Frontman Dave Grohl handles percussion on the tracks.) The album feels like classic, early Foo Fighters, with grunge/punk riffs, unabated energy, and a thick wall of sound, albeit with the depth and maturity of a band that has come quite far since 1994. These tracks are heavy-hitters, chronicling an emotional cycle that moves from rage to acceptance. But Here We Are closes one chapter and opens a new one, all with the sound and fury that made fans fall in love with the band in the first place.

GUTS (CD)

Olivia Rodrigo

GUTS is an excellent spotlight for Olivia Rodrigo's ability to write gut-punching, left-of-center pop with ultra relatable lyrics. "Vampire" is an emotionally devastating breakup anthem that feels sing-a-long (or sob-a-long) ready. "bad idea right?" is a wry, clever, totally catchy chronicle of lying to yourself about a bad idea ex. Never has feeling bad felt so good to listen to. Rodrigo is one of the best young songwriters on the scene and GUTS is a masterpiece.

Hot House: The Complete Jazz At Massey Hall Recordings (CD)

The Quintet

The legendary 1953 concert at Massey Hall in Toronto, in which five of jazz’s most influential musicians – Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Max Roach, and Bud Powell – performed as a quintet for the first time, is commemorated on Hot House: The Complete Jazz at Massey Hall Recordings . This definitive collection presents the entirety of that evening’s recorded material restored and remastered by the GRAMMY®-winning engineer, Paul Blakemore.

Laugh Track (CD)

The National

The National's Laugh Track is one of the band's best and most brilliant records to date. Fans of the band perhaps won't be surprised to learn that it's emotionally devastating in the most hurts-so-good way: taken in combination with the raw, all-too-relatable lyrics, the aching strings used through the album convey enough unfulfilled longing to make you stop what you're doing, sigh meaningfully, and stare forlornly into the middle distance. Fortunately, Laugh Track is an ultimately cathartic listen. Featuring excellent guest appearances from Bon Iver, Rosanne Cash, and Phoebe Bridgers, it's no exaggeration to say this LP is a masterpiece.

Whitsitt Chapel (CD)

Jelly Roll

Jelly Roll, the Memphis rapper-turned-country crossover star, returns with Whitsitt Chapel , the follow-up to his 2021 hit Ballads of the Broken . Joined by featured guests like Brantley Gilbert and Yelawolf, Whitsitt showcases a more introspective and optimistic side of Jelly Roll, layering gritty, heartfelt modern country with the occasional hip-hop beat.

In Times New Roman... (CD)

Queens Of The Stone Age

The mighty Queens of the Stone Age are back with their first album in five years, the scorching In Times New Roman... "Paper Machete" is as unhinged, intense, and electrifying as its name suggests. The slowed down "Carnavoyeur" is moody, dark, and intoxicating. "Emotion Sickness" is propulsive and effortlessly cool, with an operatic '70s rock 'n' roll chorus. In Times New Roman... proves QOTSA can still deliver unexpected pleasures, sweeping desert rock soundscapes, and some total headbangers.

The Land Is Inhospitable & So Are We (CD)

Mitski

Mitski's The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We is simply stunning. Opener "Bug Like an Angel" finds power and transcendence in spite of deep pain, with unforgettable lyrics about dead bugs looking like angels and broken promises that break you in return. "Heaven" feels like just that: opening with a gentle country twang, it's one of those magical songs that perfectly encapsulates a moment that's inexpressible in mere words. "Star" has a lullaby-like comfort, conveying solace and hope in spite of all the costs of living and loving. This is one of Mitski's best, an album as grand and sweeping and deeply romantic as the experience of life itself.

Live At Sydney Opera House (LP)

Khruangbin

Live at Sydney Opera House is the final installment in Khruangbin's year-long series of live albums. And what a showstopper it is! The double-LP includes songs from throughout the genre-defying band's career, all infused with the dynamic, vibrant, edge-of-your-seat feeling of their concert performances. The songs get into gorgeous, hypnotic grooves. They take unexpected, delightful detours. Basically, these songs remind you why Khruangbin is one of the most electrifying, soulful, and experimental live acts today. You'll want to get lost in this one.

Javelin (CD)

Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens's Javelin is a beautiful heartbreaker. These tracks feel like some of his deepest, most vulnerable, devastating work, yet this album is no downer. Buoyed quite literally by the lovely backing vocals of his five-part vocal choir of friends (adrienne maree brown, Hannah Cohen, Pauline Delassus, Megan Lui, and Nedelle Torrisi), the tracks embody the incredible human ability to reach up from the gutter, towards the stars. Javelin is a soft-voiced companion for tough times, gifted with a sense of the sacred and sublime.

The Holdovers [OST] (LP)

Various Artists

Prefer your holiday soundtracks on the wry side? Then you'll dig The Holdovers soundtrack, the musical companion piece to Alexander Payne's Paul Giamatti-starrer about a misfit group of holiday holdouts at a New England prep school. The original compositions by Mark Orton give a nod to classic '70s film music; inspired by the likes of Carol King and Cat Stevens, the tracks are endowed with a sense of restlessness and adventure, warmth and familiarity. The other tracks are a mix of Christmas and non-Christmas, throwback and contemporary, with selections from Khruangbin, Shocking Blue, The Allman Brothers, and Andy Williams. A cozy listen that readily evokes the movie's milieu.

everything is alive (CD)

Slowdive

Slowdive’s first new album in six years is a triumph: The shoegaze legends have enhanced their signature sound with modular synths, without detracting from their beautiful guitar reverb and hushed, intertwined vocals. The production is gorgeous. Richly atmospheric tracks like “Skin In The Game” are meant for daydreaming along to, while “Alife” is gently stirring with a jangly guitar line and steady beat. “Kisses” is another strong track, awash in the swirly goth pop revived lately by groups like Drab Majesty.
