-
The hungriest Cole has sounded in a long time.
-
Sunday Mourners make a pretty strong first impression on their debut album.
-
XMFX is a pretty solid display of Xiu Xiu's mastery of the song cover.
-
-
redveil's distinct voice is still incubating a bit, but this is handily his most impassioned and lyrically impressive work so far.
-
LUX is commendably ambitious and often gorgeous, but doesn't go the distance with all of its ideas.
-
Anna von Hausswolff's most ambitious album so far.
-
The π½ Crumpets ride again in 2025.
