Here We Go Crazy (CD)

Bob Mould

The legendary Bob Mould sounds more vital and electrifying than ever on Here We Go Crazy . The erstwhile Hüsker Dü frontman serves up more blistering, thrashing punk rock in the vein of that essential band on "Neanderthal." On the title track, the sound is gritty and melodic, homey and heartfelt in spite of all the contemporary chaos. Here We Go Crazy finds Mould continuing to deliver urgent, intelligent songs with his inimitable blend of incisiveness and warmth. Crank this one up loud.

Chewing The Fat (CD)

Franc Moody

London duo Ned Franc and Jon Moody revel in soulful, funky electro on their third studio album, Chewing The Fat . Breaking away from some of the glossiness of their previous releases, the new album offers a hardier texture with strong basslines, dreamy synths, and psych-rock flavors. Opening song "Driving On The Wrong Side of The Road" shimmers with a fanciful melody, bouncing bass, and sleepy vocals. The title track delivers a satisfyingly funky groove and is an easy favorite among these feel-good gems.

Cowboy Carter Official (LP)

Beyoncé

Is there anything the mighty Beyonce can't do? Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of Beyonce's new country album, Cowboy Carter . But this epic 27-track album is so much more than its glorious twang. The songs showcase Beyonce at her most creative, with elements of psych, soul, folk, trap, gospel, blues, hip-hop, pop, and rock effortlessly combining to create their own country melange. With appearances from country legends Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Linda Martell, Top 40 stars Miley Cyrus and Post Malone, sometimes under-the-radar Black country artists like Willie Jones, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, and Shaboozey, plus musical contributions/samples from Stevie Wonder, Jon Batiste, Paul McCartney, Nile Rodgers, Gary Clark Jr., and Rhiannon Giddens.

Curious Ruminant (LP)

Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull's latest is enchanting. Curious Ruminant is the type of album that feels as if it's building its own storybook world. Folk-rock numbers feel lifted from a fantastical fairytale setting, with elements of pastoral English folk expertly melded with driving prog. Rollicking flutes blend with Celtic-tinged melodies before driving percussion kicks in, building towards an overwhelming emotional impact. The album is beautiful, urgent, and filled with pleasant surprises. What a gift it is to have a third, excellent album from the band within the past few years after nearly two decades without a new studio album.

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory [Amber Galaxy Vinyl] (LP)

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory

Sharon Van Etten returns with a new band and a new sound. Her new self-titled album with The Attachment Theory is grandiose, exhilarating, and no holds barred. Rooted in post-punk, the album is cinematic and moody, with moments bridging shoegaze, Krautrock, goth rock, and bristling electronica. Rich in atmosphere, with sweeping soundscapes and bigger than life choruses, these songs will make you swoon.

Eels (CD)

Being Dead

The latest from Being Dead is just ridiculously good. On Eels , the Austin rockers deliver a delightfully unpredictable, totally intoxicating collection of songs that effortlessly segues from downcast post-punk to near-dreampop. Dark and light frolic hand-in-hand through these arresting, devastatingly lovely tracks. Gleefully experimental and unafraid to swim through the shadows, Eels is a must-hear.

Temporary [Red Vinyl] (LP)

Everything Is Recorded

Temporary , the new record from producer Richard Russell's Everything is Recorded project, is a jewel of an album. XL Recordings says it "might be one of the gentlest records ever made about death"...it's also probably one of the most vibrant. Grief and loss are underlying themes; there are jarring moments as well as tender, sweet moments and fantastically experimental ones. Russell's eclectic cast of collaborators is filled with heavy hitters, each of whom leaves their own signature on the album's sound. Kamasi Washington, Sampha, Bill Callahan, Noah Cyrus, Maddy Prior, Berwyn, Alabaster Deplume, Jah Wobble, Yazz Ahmed, Laura Groves, Rickey Washington, Roses Gabor, Jack Pe?ate, Samantha Morton, Clari Freeman-Taylor, Nourished By Time, and Florence Welch all make appearances on this astonishing album.

Lonesome Drifter (LP)

Charley Crockett

Charley Crockett is back with a new album that further cements his status as one of our finest contemporary country artists. His latest, Lonesome Drifter , effortlessly combines lonesome country atmospherics with addictive songwriting and classic twang. Heck, listening to this album may (and should!) convince you he's also one of our finest country artists, period. Crockett's sound is timeless, urgent, and gripping, calling to mind legends like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. Co-produced with Shooter Jennings, Lonesome Drifter is captivating and ultra cool.

100% Sahara Guitar (LP)

Etran De L'Aïr

The Nigerian rock band Etran de L'Air pull no punches on their third album, 100% Sahara Guitar , recording in a professional studio for the first time. The three brothers in the band trade off on instruments, giving their Saharan rock a distinctive flair. Songs like "Ighre Massina" and "Amidinine" are gorgeously intricate, melodic, propulsive tracks that are irresistible for dancing. Powerful grooves drive "Imouha" which hails back to Tuareg rock legends Tinariwen. The overall sound here is joyful and energetic.

White Roses, My God [Clear Vinyl] (LP)

Alan Sparhawk

Former Low frontman Alan Sparhawk faces grief head-on on his second solo album - his first since the death of his wife and bandmate Mimi Parker. Written with a synthesizer and a voice pitch effect that he bought for his children, the album is an intriguingly sparse and DIY electronic affair. Human melodies peek shyly through an unsettling maze of inhuman sounds, as if Sparhawk is still learning how to feel again. "Not the 1" is a standout, pretty track, with its distorted vocal melody floating gently over clattering sounds and murky synths.

The Sky, The Earth & All Between (LP)

Architects

Architects return with a blistering, disturbingly beautiful album. On The Sky, The Earth and All Between , the band's fierce, pummeling sound is punctuated by anguished, sweeping choruses and quieter moments of introspection. Architects skillfully juxtapose the album's most intense, growling, threatening heights with addictive, anthemic melodies that give the record its emotional center. A punishing, powerful collection of tracks that will keep fans returning.

Synthesizer (LP)

A Place To Bury Strangers

A Place To Bury Strangers deliver another gloomy, relentless masterpiece on their latest, Synthesizer . Conceived in response to the rise of emotionally void AI, Synthesizer is both icy and ferocious, gritty and brutal. The forcefulness and devastation of the songs, while bolstered by the band's intense guitar work and moody electronics, feels painfully human. The tracks simmer with anticipation and surrender, despair and incorruptible hope. On this record, it feels like the band lets a bit more light peak through the shadows...which makes the listening experience all the more powerful and worth pondering.
