Inkubus Sukkubus The Way of the Witch
A pagan rock band invoking the imagery of the old world evils and magic most arcane is a super fun idea and Inkubus Sukkubus deliver enough thrilling and dynamic songs to walk the walk of their potential.

Taylor Swift The Tortured Poets Department
It's 31 songs and two hours long and you know everything you need to know when she sings "I'm not Patti Smith" on the second track.

Adrianne Lenker Bright Future
Fragmented homilies and rustic lonesomeness. "Bright Future" is at its best when ruminating
on the parts of life that are uncomfortable and inescapable. The homogenous sound does
grate, which is something that Lenker will always lack without Big Thief behind her - the
album definitely needed a few tracks with a shift in mood as Lenker's keening voice goes
from vulnerable to milksop by the end.

Grace Cummings Ramona
For those of you who are not yet acquainted with Grace Cummings' voice, basically she has this blues-opera battle cry where you just know a song called 'I'm Getting Married to The War' will be an album highlight.

The Cranberries Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?
"the melodic jangle of post-Smiths indie guitar pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-'80s dream pop and adding a slight Celtic tint" OK the Sputnik description nailed it here. Fair play.

  • Veldin Strongly disagree with yr Junkyard sound off. Lyrics are so good they're collected in King Ink. He's heavily influenced by southern gothic literature and his translation of similar content into lyrics for The Birthday Party is one of the best parts. And his performances are far from lazy
