Another week, another slate of records to dig in to. Take this list of nine eclectic offerings from the TND writers as a starting point. Check em all out below!

Bruce Springsteen – Tracks II: The Lost Albums [Columbia]

The follow-up to Tracks, Bruce Springsteen's four-disc box set of unreleased material that he put out in 1998, and which contained more than 60 songs, is the best gift you can give to a Springsteen fan. Whereas the original Tracks was a compilation of songs Springsteen never put onto a commercial release, Tracks II is a collection of seven sequenced, mixed, and mastered albums. He's essentially dropping 25 years' worth of albums in one day. These are not re-recordings either; each album here was written and recorded between 1983 and 2008. They are time capsules for fans who want to know how Springsteen bridged the gap between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A. or what else he recorded alongside "Streets of Philadelphia."

Springsteen is also releasing a curated alternative if Tracks II is too large an undertaking. Lost and Found: Selections from The Lost Albums will pull 20 songs from the box set, offering a more streamlined experience. It will release on the same day as Tracks II. – Colin Dempsey

Deadguy – Near-Death Travel Services [Relapse Records]

New Jersey mathcore legends Deadguy are back with their second LP, and it only took 30 years. Near-Death Travel Services sees the band picking up right where they left off after 1995's Fixation On A Co-Worker, with angular, metallic guitars, hectic drums, and vocalist Tim Singer's impassioned yell. – Shaye Frenkel

Gelli Haha – Switcheroo [Innovative Leisure]

Emerging from the hitherto unknown “Gelliverse” is Gelli Haha, the latest musical incarnation of Idaho-born, LA-based artist Angel Abaya. Co-created with Sean Guerin of “post-disco” duo De Lux, the Gelli Haha mission is to craft experimental pop at its most 50/50, equally weighted between the weird and the naggingly catchy, as much inspired by analog funk and boogie from the ‘70s and ‘80s as it is by the likes of Kate Bush and Björk. Debut album Switcheroo delivers on that premise with a large dose of playful humor and melodic flair that adds up to something both bizarre and oddly touching. – Alan Pedder

Jeanines - How Long Can It Last [Slumberland]

If you’re already a fan of the Massachusetts-based indie rock band, you’re in luck with singles like “On and On” offering more of their vintage, bite-sized melodies. And if you’ve yet to be introduced to the longtime Slumberland signees, How Long Can It Last is as good a starting place as any with a barely-20 minute runtime where the mission is simple: Fit as many pop tunes in this bad boy as possible. The whole ordeal remains largely an in-house affair with Alicia Jeanine and Jed Smith handling production and composition along with help from bassist Maggie Gaster. – Thomas Stremfel

Kevin Abstract – BLUSH [Juno/X8 Music]

It's "basically" a new Brockhampton but with different artists — or that's how Kevin Abstract describes BLUSH, his new album and eponymous giant collective of talent. The rapper, once just an equal member of the famous Texas-based band, is now at the helm of this new project, working with JPEGMAFIA, Danny Brown, Quadeca, Dominic Fike, and several up-and-coming artists in the Austin scene. Brockhampton veterans might also notice that he's back with some of his oldest writing partners, sharing not one but five songs with controversial ex-member Ameer Vann. Could this album roll-up challenge the hype and cultural moment that was SATURATION Summer? Tune in to find out! –Victoria Borlando

Lorde – Album [Republic]

New Zealand pop auteur Lorde is back after a four year wait since her last LP, Solar Power. Where that album took the singer/songwriter in a previously-untested acoustic direction (to varying success, depending on who you ask), Virgin – her fourth record – returns to synths, keys, beats, and electronic production she made her name on with her first two albums (Pure Heroine and Melodrama). After a trio of singles, the record is out now in full, co-produced mainly with Jim-E Stack, with assists from Dan Nigro, Buddy Ross, and Sachi DiSerafino. Dealing in themes of love, identity, and gender expression, Virgin is a darkly synthy snapshot of where Lorde finds herself now. – Jeremy J. Fisette

Noise Trail Immersion – Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto [I, Voidhanger]

Noise Trail Immersion are not for the faint of heart. Their fifth album, Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto, is a tortured aural dissertation on the boundaries of musical extremity. The record earned high praise from Bandcamp Notes, who wrote of the nine tracks: “Each song is a Frankenstein-like collection of pieces that, sewn together, create something beautifully unholy, a mass of chillingly unresolved chords sinking into your skin and dragging you into the abyss. The tumult never ends on Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto: It’s a dark night of the soul from which you never awaken.” — Nic Huber

Pig Pen – Mental Madness [Flatspot]

With the fourth season of The Bear now streaming via Hulu and Disney+, it's only fitting that celebrity chef and actor Matty Matheson's new hardcore band Pig Pen would release their 10-track debut, Mental Madness, during the very same week. Comprised of Canadian hardcore vets, including Alexisonfire's Wade McNeil, the band channels the spirit of Niagara hardcore into songs about mental illness, self-hate, and emotional unraveling. Out now on Flatspot Records, the 24-minute project is a brash, tightly-wound burst of energy, driven by friendship, chaos, and a deep love for the scene that helped shape them. — Nic Huber

Wavves – Album [Ghost Ramp]

San Diego’s surf-rock and kings of the beach, Wavves, return with their eighth LP, Spun. Produced mostly by Aaron Rubin, with a couple assists from Blink-182’s Travis Barker, the record leans harder into the pop-punk energy the band has long hovered around. While the production is tighter, Spun still hits with the same weed-infused, beach-time sadness Wavves have made their signature over the years. - Ricky Adams

YESHE – DUST [Self-released]

Born in Switzerland to a family who were among the first wave of Tibetan refugees to move to the central European country in 1960, YESHE’s music is a full-throated expression of the diasporic Tibetan experience, in all its joy and pain. Her debut album DUST follows last year’s longform art piece Forbidden Songs (performed in NYC as part of a festival co-curated by Marina Abramović), and returns YESHE to the dynamic and experimental pop space of her earlier work. Working with more than a dozen producers, including Nguzunguzu’s Asma Maroof, FaltyDL, Mobilegirl, and Palmistry, the eight tracks on DUST weave Tibetan mantras and other cultural touchstones into a dramatic tumult of EBM, synth-pop, theatre, and noise. – Alan Pedder
