Following up one of the most exciting debuts in recent memory, Black Country, New Road pushed themselves even further on Ants From Up Here. The album is a swelling intersection of chamber pop and post-punk that propels with the same intensity and conviction as Arcade Fire’s Funeral.

With each Beach House record, the dream pop duo slightly alters the formula—never straying too far from what makes them special. As with any double album, Once Twice Melody is a lot to soak in, but it’s also such a consistently rewarding listen that it never becomes a slog. No one channels euphoria quite like Beach House does.

Palto Flats has unearthed a lost treasure in the release of Yasuaki Shimizu’s previously unreleased 1984 album Kiren. The spiritual follow up to his band Mariah’s 1983 masterpiece Utakata No Hibi, Kiren is a similar achievement in its unparalleled funky blend of jazz, art rock, and whatever else Shimizu was drawing from. There’s nothing quite like Kiren, other than Shimizu’s other work.

On their eponymous debut LP, London octet caroline introduces themselves as a full realized project. Striking a balance between Slint’s minimalist post-punk and Dirty Three’s improvised folky instrumental rock, caroline is an emotionally consuming record that expertly utilizes quiet/loud dynamics.

There’s something just slightly alien about Aldous Harding’s songs. Combining elements of folk, art pop, and jazz, the New Zealand singer-songwriter works within a sonic palette that’s generally familiar, and yet each of her releases sounds refreshingly unique. Warm Chris has been a slow burn for me, but it may now be my favorite Harding record.
