- Wet Leg — moisturizer
Transformed Wet Leg into a band as funny, acerbic, and clever as they always promised to be.
- MIKE — Showbiz!
Supernatural skill offset by the humble human at its center.
Pushes perversion to its limit with storming crescendos and gallows humor.
- Bassvictim — Forever
The zenith of delusional optimism. "The future is now, and it's f***ing amazing!"
Gloriously relatable power pop steeped in rock's past.
- Annahstasia — Tether
A riveting debut testament to artistic possibilities.
The lightest, most accessible record Noah Lennox has ever made — devastatingly sad.
- keiyaA — hooke's law
Graceful fingerstyle guitar for a world slowly slipping away.
A geyser of caustic psychedelia — technically virtuosic and nightmarish fun.
- KP Skywalka — I Tried to Tell You
All gas, no brakes. D.C. energy with go-go inspired drums.
