Angélica Garcia's Gemelo will make you stop in your tracks and take notice. These arresting songs will tap into something deep inside, as the East LA native sings of loneliness and loss in the enchanting, almost delicate first half of the album before moving into the wilder, witchier themes of liberation and healing on the second half. Produced by Chicano Batman's Carlos Arévalo, it's Garcia's first album sung almost entirely in Spanish, a kaleidoscopic, dazzling, powerful melange of Hispanic musical influences and shimmering alt-pop. Garcia has gotten a lot of buzz and for good reason: she's a distinctive, enthralling artist and Gemelo is fantastic.

L.A. Times [Green Marble Vinyl] (LP)

Travis

L.A. Times is the eclectic, excellent new album from Scottish indie rockers Travis. "Gaslight" is catchy as hell while "Bus" is romantic and wistful. "Raze the Bar" is a '90s style alt-rock anthem while "The River" is a Gaelic folk-inflected rocker. Each song feels like its own world, sometimes its own genre, yet as part of the album, they all build off one another and create their own cohesive, compelling listening experience. The record touches on frontman Fran Healy's experiences living in Los Angeles, a city as diverse and dynamic as these tracks, filled with all the high-highs and low-lows reflected in these songs. Travis continues to evolve and L.A. Times is some of their best, most intimate work in years.

Box Of Letters (CD)

Sparkle*Jets U.K.

Sparkle Jets UK are back with their first full-length record of originals since 2002. Box of Letters is addictive, timeless power pop. Featuring dual singers Susan West and Michael Simmons, the band builds a high-octane, ridiculously hooky, and ultra cool vibe that doesn't quit. The mood moves from sharp-witted and punky to wistful and romantic, all with driving riffs and catchy as hell choruses. Box of Letters is pure rock 'n' roll excitement in the way only Sparkle Jets UK can bring it.

MoonDial (LP)

Pat Metheny

Pat Metheny's new album MoonDial is atmospheric, mellow, and magical. The compositions are nuanced and moving, the type of tracks that enhance your surroundings and instantly lift your mood. On MoonDial , the legendary Metheny experiments with tuning, finding delightful, evocative harmonies and creating mood music that sets the tone but doesn't disappear into the background. An enchanting, gently beautiful album that you'll want to hear again and again.

Good Kid 4 (LP)

Good Kid

Toronto indie rockers Good Kid are masters at writing ultra-catchy, upbeat indie meets emo that'll keep listeners coming back for more. Their short but sweet Good Kid 4 EP is filled with a ridiculous amount of earworms. The band's ability to create consistently irresistible hooks is their superpower — surely no band of mere mortals should be able to write such ridiculously good, addictive tracks. And yet, here they are. Good Kid 4 deserves all the buzz. Fans of '00s indie and emo won't be able to get enough of this fast, fun listen.

Red Moon Rising (CD)

Robert Jon & The Wreck

Southern-fried rock meets blistering blues rock on Robert Jon & The Wreck's latest. Red Moon Rising is packed with evocative storytelling, red hot riffs, and grooved out basslines. The band incorporates funk flourishes, sing-a-long-ready choruses, and imaginative, urgent lyrics into truly electrifying tracks that'll scratch your blues rock itch. Red Moon Rising is the sort of mood-setting album that'll transport you to a sweatier, sultrier, more down-and-dirty rock 'n' roll world.

Why Lawd? [Smoke & Gold & Blue Vinyl] (LP)

NxWorries

When you're listening to NxWorries' latest, life is good. Why Lawd? feels like the album of the summer, with lush, soulful beats, vibey atmospherics, and a throwback, feel-good mood. Anderson .Paak and producer Knxwledge have created something truly special on their second collaboration as NxWorries. This is soul meets hip-hop at its finest: the songs feel contemporary and cool yet they already seem like stone cold classics. Featuring guest appearances from Dave Chappelle, Thundercat, H.E.R., Snoop Dogg, and Earl Sweatshirt.

Eels Time! (CD)

Eels

With the release of their fifteenth studio album, it is one again Eels Time ! Written in the wake of the pandemic, these new Eels songs feel contemplative, gentle, and ever so slightly off-kilter. E and the band sing about the temporality of life, finding the courage to choose love, and the comfort of pet fish. The deceptively simple lyrics are always eminently relatable and often lead to a surprise gut punch. Eels Time! is one of those albums that perfectly captures certain elements of the human experience: the doubt, the longing, and the emotional connections that make it all worthwhile.

Wake Up The Wicked (CD)

Powerwolf

Fantasy meets ferocity on the latest from Powerwolf. Wake Up the Wicked is every bit as epic as you'd expect from its title, with thundering riffs, soaring choruses, and intense theatricality. Of course it's heavy, of course it's catchy...of course it's the ideal soundtrack for embarking on a medieval quest into a realm of dragons, hellfire, and badass sword-slingin' babes of all gender expressions. Wake Up the Wicked is loud enough and powerful enough to do just that, and you'll have a hell of a good time while you're listening.

Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going (CD)

Shaboozey

Hot off his appearance on Beyonce's Cowboy Carter comes Shaboozey with his top-notch new album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Goin g. Shaboozey fuses classic country sounds with indie Americana, adds in a dash of hip-hop, and occasionally even some pop. In Shaboozey's hands, this modern melange feels natural, affecting, and utterly satisfying. This is an album with a capital "A," the type of front-to-back listening experience that creates a mood and tells a story that'll stick with you. "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" is a down-and-out anthem that's irresistible and infectious. "Anabelle" will break your heart and "My Fault" (featuring Noah Cyrus) will break it into even smaller pieces. You've got to hear this album: you'll be glad you did.

Closer (CD)

Maria Chiara Argiro

Maria Chiara Argiro's Closer is pure leftfield pop bliss. The London-via-Rome singer, pianist, composer & producer wrote the album to evoke the dreamlike feeling she experienced in the time leaning up to its creation — and that's exactly what it feels like. Argiro is a familiar force in the UK jazz, electronic, and classical scenes and while these lovely tracks have pop bones, they're dressed up with hypnotic electronic beats, jazz trumpet, and gauzy synths. Closer is a refreshing listen, the type of album that just hits a little deeper and makes you glad to be alive.

X's [Crystal Clear Vinyl] (LP)

Cigarettes After Sex

On X's , the tenderly seductive milieu of Cigarettes After Sex moves from dream pop to emotional nightmare. Written as a way of coping with the collapse of a four-year long relationship, the album moves from love-drunk early days to relentless, creeping loss. Cigarettes After Sex has always trafficked in the slow burn; these songs take that simmering tension to a new height. Inspired by melancholic slow dances of the '70s and '80s, X's is moody and quietly devastating.
