2hollis, Pirouette
The digicore artist seeks to fully place us in the intense present with a candy-colored, speaker-blowing pop album—one that happens to also be almost feverishly in love.

The DC hardcore punks’ fourth album cuts like a knife as it demands that the genocide of the Palestinian people be choked into submission.
untitled (halo), untitled (halo)
The LA group’s debut is an extremely stylish backdrop with no magnetic centerpiece, a fascinating—and even useful—snapshot of indie rock’s current preoccupations.
