Now working as a trio, the Pittsburgh band’s second album is heavier, uglier, and far more glitched out than its predecessor. It’s also lovelier, more full of life, and more empathetic.

On her second album, the South Africa-born, Melbourne-raised artist channels a wide range of influences—jazz vocalists, ’90s alt-rock, bhangra, hip-hop, and more—through a feminist punk lens.

On their first collaborative album in over a decade, the Qawwali composer joins the Radiohead guitarist at his Oxford studio for a subtle, trance-like set.

Sparkling with anime and video game influences, the Chicago producer’s second album combines breakcore, footwork, and jungle to summon a cypher that transforms self-narrative into saga.
