Untame The Tiger (CD)

Mary Timony

Cult favorite Mary Timony returns with her first solo album in fifteen years. On Untame the Tiger , Timony sings of ephemerality, loneliness, and romantic misadventures. Despite the challenging themes, however, these tracks are immediately likable, with upbeat, driving melodies. Timony fuses college rock confessionalism with grungey riffs and forlorn country guitar. Timony fans will dig this one.

TANGK [Transparent Pink Vinyl] (LP)

IDLES

The mighty IDLES find power in love on TANGK . (Pronounced "tank.") The best British post-punk band in modern music can always be relied on for intelligent lyrics, punishing riffs, and no holds barred truth-telling, but whereas on earlier releases the band directed their talents at taking down the failures and apathy of society, now they're funneling that same forceful sound into the not-so-simple act of perseverance. The band's inimitable stomp is present on "Dancer" — even as the song intros with golden age of Hollywood cinematic strings — before segueing into a bold, brutal melody. On "Grace," those pounding basslines and fierce drums are toned down in an aural echo of the title; this anthem for communal love and solidarity feels both open-eyed and comforting. An essential album for rough times, TANGK is some of the most intriguing material from the ever-excellent IDLES.

People Who Aren't There Anymore (CD)

Future Islands

Future Islands have just released one of the best albums of their career. The songs on People Who Aren't There Anymore are totally bops, the type of ear worm tracks that become instant favorites. At the same time, there's a sense of emotional exploration to these songs that gives them real heft — Future Islands has gotten introspective in these slowed-down jams, delivering songs that feel like companions for the most uncomfortable moments of change and growth in life. It's a lovely album that will linger in your mind longer after the last note fades out.

Tigers Blood (CD)

Waxahatchee

Waxahatchee's Tigers Blood finds Katie Crutchfield grappling with addiction issues and lost relationships and coming out on top. Sober since 2018, Crutchfield's songwriting is vulnerable yet bold, gritty yet graceful. Her lilting voice and easy-going Americana melodies bring sunlight to even the darkest corners, as Crutchfield moves from singing of tension and disappointment to belonging and welcome stability. Tigers Blood is summer day music: moving and magical, a moment to rest and survey the beauty in the world around you after the long metaphorical winter.

Interplay (CD)

Ride

Rarely do legendary acts have a second act as creative, interesting, and essential as Ride. Interplay is some of the band's best work. Opener "Peace Sign" is shoegaze with pop sensibilities and an early '90s indie quirk. "Last Frontier" is romantic, wistful, and moody. "Monaco" kicks off with danceable electronic beats before melancholy post-punk guitars and stabbing synths add urgency and intensity. With so many top-notch songs, Interplay is one of those records that quickly becomes a favorite.

Underdressed At The Symphony (CD)

Faye Webster

Enter the weird and wonderful world of rising star Faye Webster on Underdressed at the Symphony . Webster has gained a loyal following through tightly-crafted indie with elements of country and hip-hop. With these new tracks, Webster pushes the envelope of her sound, adding vocoder vocals and recruiting longtime friend Lil Yachty for a guest appearance on "Lego Ring." Underdressed at the Symphony has everything that fans dig: short but sweet, perfect indie gems that'll get stuck in your head and in your heart, enhanced by joyful musical experimentation, droll humor, and genre-crossing melodies.

Little Rope (CD)

Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney's Little Rope is a remarkable album. Written in the wake of the deaths of Carrie Brownstein's mother and stepfather, the arrangements are sparse and meditative, intense and careening — much like the process of navigating loss itself. Through the comfort and challenge of songwriting, Brownstein and Corin Tucker transmute grief into striving, sympathetic, transcendent songs. Little Rope feels like a companion, a friend, someone to walk beside you on a long, dark road. Because isn't that what music, at its best, does?

All That Was East Is West Of Me Now (CD)

Glen Hansard

Glen Hansard's All That Was East Is West of Me Now is a record about realizing your days are numbered, making the most of what's to come, and honoring what's in the rearview. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's an album of emotional highs and lows, the mood shifting between meditative and resolute. Hansard gets sweepingly romantic on the Leonard Cohenesque "Sure as the Rain." On "The Feast of St. John," Hansard brings authenticity and to Springsteen-like guitar grandiosity. "Bearing Witness" is powerfully raw, an ode to making the most of the hand you're dealt and not looking back. An excellent, moving album from one of modern music's most treasured songwriters.

Exotic Birds Of Prey (CD)

Shabazz Palaces

Exotic Birds of Prey is the new seven song mini-album from the inimitable Shabazz Palaces. These tracks are gloriously weird, pushing hip-hop forward into cosmic, funky, and unsettling territory. The ultra-experimental "Angela" features haunting synthscapes and woozy basslines. "Myths of the Occult" is a short-but-sweet track with a trippy, slightly eerie melody and dreamlike, goth rap vocals. "Take Me to Your Leader" sounds like a forgotten classic from the era that brought us weirdo synth-funk legends like Charlie and Egyptian Lover. Exotic Birds of Prey is innovative, enjoyable, and unlike anything else you'll hear this year.

The Past Is Still Alive (CD)

Hurray For The Riff Raff

The Past Is Still Alive feels like a ray of sunshine on a dark day. In these songs, Hurray for the Riff Raff weaves threads of hope, joy, and love from the complications of the past and our messy present. The melodies are warm, folksy, wise, and moving, the lyrics celebrate queerness, finding a place to call home, and discovering wisdom through life's challenges. The Past features appearances from Anjimile, Conor Oberst, and S.G. Goodman.

Heaven :x: Hell (CD)

Sum 41

Everything you've ever wanted from Sum 41 can be found on their new double album Heaven :x: Hell . Heaven is packed to the gills with the pop-punk gems that brought Sum 41 infamy. Hell takes listeners on a journey to the band's more recent heavy metal side. It's a raucous, rowdy thrillride meant to be turned up loud. Heaven :x: Hell may be Sum 41's final album but these tracks will keep fans headbanging for year to come.

Notebook Fantasy (CD)

Chicano Batman

Chicano Batman takes you on a voyage with Notebook Fantasy . Produced by in-demand producer John Congleton (Erykah Badu, Budos Band, St. Vincent), the album feels like a throwback to a more psychedelic, sexy, jet-setting time. "Era Primavera" is a lush, shimmering number with soaring strings, dreamy harmonies, and romantic melodies. The appropriately named "Fly" just feels superfly, with elements of classic '70s funk, sexy sleaze, and an addictive chorus. Notebook Fantasy is absolutely sensational.
