Beyoncé, B’Day [20th Anniversary Edition]
Along with remastering its original mix to bring out the disc’s vibrantly wild percussion, there’s a warmth to this celebratory touch-up of the pop star’s second solo LP that was forever missing.
Diary, Spiral Bound
The Brooklyn-based jangle-pop quintet’s aptly diaristic debut takes the form of a novella, as each track seems to correspond with a particular time in the wee hours of the morning.
Sleep, Hemispheres
Touching back down from the depths of smoke-space to release their first album in eight years, the newly reconfigured stoner-metal titans offer myriad psychedelic delights.
