Punk lifer Nick Vicario slows things down on his third album: a broad, complicated ode to reawakening and recovery.

The Canadian punks’ second album sounds more polished and a bit less spontaneous as they glide between sludge metal and plucky bluegrass, even approaching Midwest emo.

On their first duo album, the trumpeter and guitarist build on the rapport they’ve been developing for a decade, taking lyrical, atmospheric jazz and pushing it in prickly new directions.

On its new album, the Nashville trio considers quotidian indignities and existential quandaries in songs built off a communal spirit and a flexible folk-rock sound.
