Misadventures Of Doomscroller (CD)
Dawes
Dawes’ sound continues to evolve on this new album, which dials in jazz, prog and jam band elements to their ‘70s influenced rock. The opener segues neatly from funk rock to a proggy instrumental to a rock ballad. Arrangements are clever and intriguing throughout.
Inside [Deluxe Edition] (LP)
Bo Burnham
Bo Burnham's Netflix special is the gift that keeps giving, this time in the form of the limited deluxe 3LP vinyl edition of Inside . If you dug the wickedly funny songs from the show, then this box set is a must. It features the original 20 ultra-topical, self-aware, hysterical songs from the Netflix special, along with 13 tracks from the Inside outtakes, and 13 score tracks, all housed in a beautiful box including 3 dual-cover LP jackets and individual RGB translucent outer sleeves.
Outside Child (CD)
Allison Russell
Allison Russell’s Outside Child is so assured it’s hard to believe this is the Montreal singer-songwriter’s debut album. Russell fuses Americana, blues, and soul to create a sometimes haunting, sometimes joyful sound uniquely her own. In this way, the melodies mirror her lyrical concerns as well as the overarching themes of the album—namely transcendence, healing, and hope, all springing from a place of deep-rooted trauma. Powerful, moving, and devastatingly beautiful, Outside Child marks Allison Russell as one to watch.
Real Gone (CD)
Ally Venable
Already releasing her 5th album at 23, Texas blues rocker Ally Venable storms back into town with Real Gone . There are slow blues jams, funky rhythm & blues, all-out rockers and guest spots from blues titans Joe Bonamassa and Buddy Guy, but Venable’s dynamic voice and red-hot guitar playing are the real star of Real Gone .

Slingshot (CD)
JayWood
Canadian singer-songwriter and producer Jeremy Haywood-Smith (aka JayWood) expands his musical horizons on Slingshot . The album is full of funky electro-pop and JayWood melds hip-hop beats with indie psych and neo-soul like an alchemist, forging danceable tracks like “Just Sayin,” alongside the dreamlike “Tulips.”
Champions (BLU)
Bobby Farrelly
In this hilarious and heartwarming story, Woody Harrelson stars as a former minor-league basketball coach who, after a series of missteps, is ordered by the court to manage a team of players with intellectual disabilities. He soon realizes that despite his doubts, this team can go further than they ever imagined.
Living Proof (CD)
Drain
Fans of classic California hardcore will find DRAIN's Living Proof irresistible. The tracks are fast, intense, and good-natured; even in their most abrasive moments, the mood feels like you're at the stickiest, most out-of-control, enjoyable basement show of your life. This is just straight-up quality hardcore. Featuring an appearance from rapper Shakewell and the DRAIN guys covering the Descendents' "Good, Good Things," the band's sophomore album will make you believe in punk rock once again. Made to be played loud.
So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously (CD)
Atmosphere
So Many Other Realities Exist Simultaneously is the latest old-school-inflected, insightful hip-hop album from Atmosphere. The titular realities are reflected in the album's intentional labyrinth of genres and moods. Slug and Ant open the album on a deceptively easy-going note with "Okay," a track that feels as comforting as an old friend, or a bedtime story to keep nightmares at bay. Alas, this is the real world, and tensions arise with the thrilling, short-but-sweet "Thanxiety" and keep moving through the uneasy reggae rhythms of "Holding My Breath." Things get haunting on the trip-hop-tinged "Sculpting With Fire," a track that finds catharsis in catastrophe. So Many Realities is exciting and unexpected, another step forward from an act that never stops innovating.

American Bollywood [Clear Yellow Vinyl] (LP)
Young The Giant
The California quintet known as Young the Giant presents American Bollywood , a musical tale in four acts, that was released over the span of a year. Intertwining frontman Sameer Gadhia's Indian culture with the band's introspective indie pop, Young the Giant fuses together storytelling ballads full of dreamlike images and starkly raw human trials and emotions.
ATUM (CD)
The Smashing Pumpkins
Smashing Pumpkins' ATUM is ambitious, intense, and admirable. Yes, this is a rock opera, in all its soaring, sprawling glory—the music segues naturally from genre to genre, pulling in elements of operatic rock, ambient, indie, metal, and grunge to the Pumpkins' sound. Conceived as a sequel of sorts to the band's iconic Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and the 2000 concept album Machina/The Machines of God , the tracks on ATUM were originally released in three separate "Acts." This new release combines all three acts into one epic, emotionally affecting release that proves the now-legends are still pushing the envelope.
Rites Of Percussion (CD)
Dave Lombardo
The power, depth, and diversity of percussion are on fine display in Dave Lombardo's mighty solo debut, Rites of Percussion . The Slayer co-founder sets the mood with aplomb on these tracks, creating cinematic soundscapes that feel cosmic and funky, bristling and atmospheric, tense and driving. Self-produced by Lombardo and mixed by his son David A., the percussionist's arsenal includes an impressive concert bass drum, shakers, timpani, maracas, Chinese and symphonic gongs, Native American drums, congas, timbales, bongos, batás, wood blocks, djembes, ibos, darbukas, octobans, cajóns, cymbals, and grand piano. Lombardo has long been known as a talented, risk-taking percussionist; this album spotlight's the varied capabilities of these beautiful, impactful instruments.
Everything Harmony (CD)
The Lemon Twigs
Blast-from-the-past brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario return with another exceptionally well-crafted Lemon Twigs album, Everything Harmony . As the band gleefully reconstructs and experiments with throwback genres and pays tribute to musical legends, it's clear that they know their rock history. But what makes The Lemon Twigs' music so powerful isn't just their good taste and passion for the music; it's their ability to inject novelty, curiosity, and real emotion into the mix, whether they're singing a Simon & Garfunkel-style ballad or giving a nod to Big Star. It's no surprise that the brothers cite Moondog and Arthur Russell as influences on this one—although The Lemon Twigs may not yet have a storied history like those seminal underground artists but the D'Addarios share their fervor for experimentation, art, and just straight-up quality songwriting.
