March 7, 2025
Foxes in the Snow
Southeastern Records
The singer and songwriter cuts a solo acoustic album that's spare, intimate, and quietly brilliant.
Here We Go Crazy
Granary Music
The hardcore hero has made an album that's taut, powerful, and a claustrophobic reflection of a world gone mad.
Oceanside Countryside
Reprise
Another of Young's lost albums from a vibrant period in the late '70s splits the songs between gentle solo tunes and full band romps.
Blood on the Silver Screen
Domino
After making dream pop- and alt-metal-inspired records, the singer/multi-instrumentalist goes unabashedly pop on a set of heartbreak bops and ballads.
This Side of the Island
Glassnote Entertainment Group
Eight years in the making, the former Walkmen frontman's rousing fourth album dares to be uplifting during difficult times.
ASTROPICAL
Sony Music / Sony Music Latin
The debut offering by the joined members of Bomba Estéreo and Rawayana is ecstatic, spiritual, and sensual.

Reunited with former bandmate Loke Rahbek, the duo dramatically reinvents itself with heartbroken hybrids of post-punk, dance, hip-hop, and ambient.
The Melancholy Season
BMG Rights Management / Dark Horse
The Heartbreakers' keyboard player sounds wise, thoughtful and full of soul on his second solo album.
Flamingo Tower
Fire Records

Points of Origin
Bella Union
The songwriter/guitarist's most literary album yet is a set of (mostly) character sketches underscored by atmospheric folk.

Trouble in Mind
The second album from this London-based band offers an even clearer rendering of their unique sound: speedy jangle punk by way of U.K. folk-rock.
A Blade Because a Blade Is Whole
International Anthem
The English composer and multi-instrumentalist surrounds himself with a stellar cast in a quest to confront, embrace, and transform psychic pain.
Surgery and Pleasure
Loma Vista
The Boston trio lean into 2000s indie rock and post-punk postures for their consistently nervy, urgent sixth album.
Bucolic Gone
Don Giovanni
The tenth album from this Pacific Northwestern band continues to refine the lighter-than-air orchestrated soft pop groove they've made their standard.
Percussion Explosion!
Mr. Bongo
Fun disco-funk record from 1978 that houses the classic, and much sampled by hip-hop producers, "Dance to the Drummer's Beat."
Myrtus Myth
2MR
The Russian artist's fourth solo album is a downtempo ambient pop effort inspired by mythology.
