Mitski - The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We

Bops on top of sad indie bops.

Adeem the Artist - White Trash Revelry

A country album with a lot of heart and a unique perspective.

Sturgill Simpson - Sound & Fury

Sturgill Simpson's rock experimentation on Sound & Fury sometimes goes over well; other times it goes awfully awry.

(Sandy) Alex G - House of Sugar

House of Sugar is sprinkled with some brilliant and beautiful ideas, but is on the whole marred by an unsatisfying flow, dodgy songwriting, and faint lead vocals.

Purple Mountains - Purple Mountains

David Berman's wryly depressive (or depressively wry) songwriting seems to have only gotten sharper during his decade away from music.

(Sandy) Alex G - Rocket

With Rocket, Philly singer-songwriter Alex G delivers an album that's a bit more adventurous than his previous effort, but also a lot more inconsistent.

Wilco - Schmilco

Wilco returns with another unassuming record.

Lucinda Williams - The Ghosts of Highway 20

Lucinda wears her experience and age on her sleeve with this latest record.
