Bitter Calm explores the healing process for a range of types of grief.

In the span of 8 days, 3 of the best rap albums of 2019 dropped. 3 artists from different parts of the country, and they’re all students of the art of rapping.

(Sandy) Alex G's latest album, "House of Sugar," is a dense and risky creative triumph. Our review:

Chris Farren can commit to a bit, but his "Born Hot" tagline is just a costume. 'Born Hot' seeks to emulsify dour themes with vibrant, rousing beats. Check out Bineet's review ahead of its official release date next Friday.

The Lazy Susans set out to write a powerful and cathartic album when they set their eyes on Now That The Party’s Over. Throughout the painful subject matter and darker tone, it’s impressive to see a group balance the dreadful with their hazy shoe-gaze sound.

Expansive and seizing and dim, Rosie Tucker’s new single “Ambrosia” could have been excerpted is cautiously mapped out, with enunciated words and suppressed instrumentation that never dares to intercept what Tucker is articulating.

Slaughter Beach, Dog's new album is their most personable release to date. Read Hope's review while you listen to the record.

Oso Oso has patented a sound that always feels comfortable to listen to. Whether you’ve been indulging in their music nonstop, or take a break and come back to enjoy it again, every Oso record is familiarly pleasant.The newest release from Jade Lilitri’s project is another homerun example of this phenomenon.

Sleater-Kinney's highly-anticipated return strays from their signature sound in search of something grander and poppier. Despite a few missteps, it's both a brave and rewarding album from the indie-rock pioneers.

It’s easy to write Del Rey off as a crybaby. And perhaps, she is. But to be sad is to feel, and to feel is to care. She’s far less prolific than Rockwell, but they both create art that mirrors reality - even if it means being a damper.

The sophomore album from Future Crib is a boundless exploration of rock's outer edges, melding indie-rock, folk, jam, fuzz-rock, and 1975-esque synths into one cohesive piece. Our review:

The current state of the union may be a bummer, but the new track from Jersey’s Save Face of the same name is far from it. Save Face just dropped their new track "Bummer" from their upcoming split with Grad Life, and the music video is packed to the gills with artists from throughout the DIY and emo music worlds.
