On their latest LP, the Strokes want to head in a new direction, but they can’t decide on one. So they use every track to obtain a different sound. Moments like “Under Cover of Darkness” embrace what’s best about the band’s past work, but “Two Kinds of

Tim Hecker’s latest album is a barren wasteland of forgotten sounds. It’s music you can truly wander through. Some tracks do feel a little short of breath, sadly, but there are many more standouts here than there are duds. It’s another strong piece of material in the
