PLAY ME
Kim Gordon’s third solo album is the most populist and literalist music of her career. Her sharp style and wit remain, but absurdity and ambiguity are missed.
Lateral
The Italian musician pays tribute to classic dub techno and leftfield ambient music on a 3xLP of ruminative rhythms and sumptuous tone colors.
early life crisis
The teen phenom’s new album faceplants with reheated rage production, Cartispeak, and faux pain rap that never quite becomes his own.
Exuvie
Finding inspiration in ancient warfare and molting insects, the pianist and sound artist dissects her influences with abandon, rendering classical forms in a visceral, digitally mangled smear.

Denzel Curry's promising new rap collective debuts with a hit-and-miss handful of tracks.
GENA - The Pleasure Is Yours
Who's got a problem with GENA? Not me, that's for sure.
