Nicolás Jaar and Dave Harrington’s third album is magnetic and hieroglyphic. Nine transmissions of negative space, telepathic seance, and spectral improvisation slip through the cracks of convention with serpentine guitars, extraterrestrial static, and cavernous drums. No band but Darkside could have made Nothing, and in no moment but now.

The third studio album from the collaborative music project centered around producer Richard Russell. Every song sounds washed in sunshine and graced by tenderness. More fragile and quieter than previous Everything Is Recorded outings, it might be one of the gentlest records ever made about death. In Russell’s own words “making the album was joyous, a way of hallowing life.

If Funeral for Justice was the sound of outrage, Tears of Injustice is the sound of grief.

It is an evolution of the band’s critically-adored breakout – the meditative mirror-image to the blistering original.

While Noah Lennox’s solo records have ranged from starkly intimate expressions of grief to colorful, electronic opuses, his music has never before sounded so warm and immediate.

Stand Together’s powerful exploration of unity, connection, and humanity brings Blacc’s signature soulful sound to a call for work. Each song is dedicated to a different organization or cause for social change while weaving themes of love, empowerment, and togetherness. It’s an uplifting and inspiring record that drives meaningful action.

Deep Sea Diver has found newly ornate and magnetic ways to make indie rock by discarding notions of how it must sound or what it must say. It's their fourth album and first for Sub Pop, and it is a coup, a triumph over self-doubt, transforming failure into an opportunity to find new freedom, belief, and strength.

Celebrating an astonishing 25-year career as one of the most vital and genre-defining bands of the '00s metal, Killswitch Engage continues its incredible legacy by unleashing This Consequence, a masterfully executed record that captures the band's signature sound all the while leveling up on teeth-baring tracks like "Forever Aligned," "I Believe," and "Collusion.”

Where The Murder Capital’s 2019 debut delivered poetic post-punk melancholy, the follow-up showcased atmospheric introspection. Blindness, their third album, marks a bold step forward, presenting a dynamic, eclectic project brimming with self-confidence. It’s both urgent and timeless.

Lacuna Coil's latter-day career has been an exercise in resilience and reinvention with the Italian metal icons storming back on Sleepless Empire.

The result is a reflection on identity and choices, balancing heavy themes with empowerment.

After twenty years of musical partnership, both Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz, now dads, fully embraced the life-altering, unromantic challenges and rewards of family life.

Plus One represents the duo’s first full-fledged attempt at carving a space in mainstream country music. Tunes that reference country roads and chugging double shots of whiskey sit alongside their trademark message of fostering hope and connection. “We knew that Nashville had something to offer us,” says Michael Trotter, “but we also knew that we’ve got something to offer Nashville.”

Throughout the record, Strange lays down one difficult truth after another, all over a sonic pastiche of music he loved as a kid.
