ALBUMS/EPS
Deerhunter | Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?
In their catchy, albeit haunting, new record, Deerhunter raises a question about the state of society, (Why hasn’t everything already disappeared?) but they don’t exactly answer it. In fact, they dodge the question altogether and jump from track to track in an unpredictable pattern, leaving behind even more questions. Great album.
Maggie Rogers | Heard It In A Past Life
The first full length album from Maggie Rogers includes the singles that first thrust her into the spotlight as well as tracks that round out her unique electro-folk sound.

Greensky Bluegrass | All For Money

✨ PREMIERE ✨ | The Day | Midnight Parade
Equal parts dreamy pop and post-punk with an edge, the each track on the The Day’s latest album lives and breathes in a constant state of paradox.
