Pile Sunshine and Balance Beams
Equal parts serene and brutal - often all at once. Pile not only return to their post-hardcore roots but they return with what they've learned in their more linear and experimental detours from the past couple releases. Lush strings, beautiful duets clash with harsh scramz, filthy guitar licks, and angular melodies. Top tracks: Deep Clay, A Loosened Knot, Born at Night, Holds, Carrion Song.

Cursive Happy Hollow
Cursive Get Fixed
A true sister album to Vitriola, this album carries over many of the political themes and instrumental qualities from the 2018 release. With that said, this doesn't feel like a collection of B-sides. Rather, this feels like they had enough for two albums and split their best tracks between them. Both albums have their high points and Get Fixed's peaks aren't anything to scoff at.rStranded Satellite is an oppressive, deliberately paced track with a piano-driven beat that explodes in the final refrain with gorgeously layered strings and keys. Horror is a Human Being brings to mind Happy Hollow and Mama, I'm Swollen era Cursive, but includes the wonderful Megan Siebe on Cello. It's bombastic, hard hitting, and has one of the best guitar hooks on the album.rI Am Goddamn is another track of note in that it is so angular and gnarled. I haven't heard a Cursive track this difficult to get a grasp on since Ugly Organ, and it's a welcome inclusion here.rDespite these tracks and many other excellent songs like Get Fixed and What's Gotten Into You, I do think tracks like Look What's Become of Us cause too much of a lull in the albums flow. While themes of segregation by thought, self-imposed isolation, and ignorance are prominent and differentiate the album from its companion piece, I can't help but feel like Get Fixed lacks the cohesiveness of Vitriola. A great album given the 1 year turn-around, it just falls short of the mark left by the 2018 release.

Catchy, thoughtful pop. Unfortunately, the last few tracks lose the incredible momentum set by the rest of the record. End of the Contender, Cold Reactor, Buddy, Come Over, Mad Stone, Don't Ask Me to Beg, and Dagger's Edge are the standouts.

mewithoutYou [untitled] e.p.
Beautiful, strange, and unlike anything mewithoutYou has ever done before. All the same subdued, folky, and experimental. This EP has mewithoutYou going in directions I never would have imagined. However, the only thing tying these tracks together is their departure from the usual band's sound. A fun listen and appetizer platter to tide us over until October.
