Warp
The group's final release brings listeners closer than ever to their music with pared-down versions of some of their best-loved songs.
4AD
Collecting the band's first three 4AD albums and plentiful bonus material, this set documents their inventive, emotive dream-pop brilliance.
Sub Pop
In his first solo excursion since the end of his band Low, Sparhawk uses synths, drum machines, and vocoded vocals to explore grief.
Bayonet Records
The Austin, Texas duo enlisted producer John Congleton to reinvigorate their '60s-indebted sound on a (psych/garage) rock-solid 16-track sophomore LP.
Loma Vista
An inspired and uplifting meeting between two figures crucial to hip-hop for over 30 years.
Brainfeeder
The duo stick to the globally informed, jazz-adjacent neo-psychedelia of their first two albums with winning results.
