If I Didn’t Live Here I’d Leave: Cartwrights
Let’s set the scene: the last of the autumn leaves are falling off the trees, and you’re looking at old photo albums you found hidden away and reminiscing on days gone by. That sense of sweet nostalgia—the kind that lingers in your chest—is the essence of the Cartwrights’ new album If I Didn’t Live Here I’d Leave.
At Peace: Propagandhi
It’s been seven years since Propagandhi’s last full length and things (gestures to genocidal conflicts, the environment, surveillance technology, billionaires, on and on) have continued on their downward spiral.
Idiopathic: RHOADS
Add a splash of guitar, the essence of Circle Jerks, and a whole lot of angst, bring it to a roaring boil, and voila, there you have it: scalding punk anger—or in other words, RHOADS’s first official release, Idiopathic.
816: V3nom
There’s a reason local trio V3nom have been gaining attention across city stages, but if you can’t make it out to one of their many shows, then this five-song EP is the perfect introduction.
Automatic: The Lumineers
Combining themes of modern human experience and social commentary, The Lumineers’ fifth studio album Automatic is unpredictably layered and emotionally dynamic.
Liberation: ZZ Ward
ZZ Ward’s latest release, the blues-infused Liberation, draws breath from childhood sound bites that inspired her earliest musical musings.
Hurry Up Tomorrow: The Weeknd
Hurry Up Tomorrow, which The Weeknd has said will be his final album, grapples with themes listeners have come to expect—self-destruction, isolation, addiction, lust, and heartache—but this time with a raw vulnerability that, in a lot of ways, feels like our first real peek behind his performing persona.
