St. Vincent - All Born Screaming

An unfocused album from Annie, but not without its share of daring highlights.

Mon Laferte - Autopoiética

Laferte's creativity throughout Autopoiética is enough to close the consistency gap.

yeule - softscars

Some of yeule's distinctiveness as an artist was lost in the shift toward a more rock-oriented sound, but softscars is still a solid album in these genres.

Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS

An all-around improvement on SOUR's formula.

Ashnikko - Weedkiller

WEEDKILLER feels like a regression for Ashnikko.

Paris Texas - Mid Air

The duo's creative potential isn't being realized on this album.

Kara Jackson - Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love?

A fantastic introduction from this leftfield singer-songwriter.

100 gecs - 10,000 gecs

This album makes you feel like you're eating a burrito with Danny Devito.
