Alvvays - Blue Rev
ReviewsCommentBlue Rev, while not particularly consistent, is still one of the year's most colorful rock records.
beabadoobee - Beatopia
ReviewsCommentBea makes more out of her '90s nostalgia on Beatopia.
Superorganism - World Wide Pop
ReviewsCommentA mostly fun sophomore effort from the indie pop outfit.
Harry Styles - Harry's House
ReviewsCommentThere are some good and not so good times to be had at Harry's House.
Arcade Fire - WE
ReviewsCommentIf you've heard "The Lightning I-II," you've heard the only excitement WE has to offer.

ReviewsCommentWhile Suddenly is all a bit faint in typical Caribou fashion, it's nevertheless a sweet and heartfelt helping of indietronica.
Frances Quinlan - Likewise
ReviewsCommentLikewise's plain instrumental palette doesn't do much to complement Frances Quinlan's unique voice.
