Reviews

Maya Hawke, Maitreya Corso
The actress and songwriter’s barely older, mostly wiser, and more wearily symbolic follow-up to 2024’s Chaos Angel sketches her commitments to love beyond the boundaries of her usual big ideas.
American Football, American Football (LP4)
Further expanding the majesty and swell of their sound, the Midwest emo icons’ widescreen fourth LP flows with darkness, morbidity, emotional distress, and a newfound sense of hope.
Failure, Location Lost
The spacey grunge trio’s fourth post-reunion LP avoids trends in favor of songs that penetrate the heart—it’s as if they’ve finally found the magic they’ve had in themselves from the start.
