"The New Abnormal" - The Strokes
The record combines classic elements of the band’s indie-rock sound with fresh new ideas, which blossomed from the band’s hiatus and separate solo careers.

"Kiwanuka" - Micheal Kiwanuka
“Kiwanuka” is captivating both sonically and figuratively, possibly for its attitude which offers no comfort to listeners.

"GLOW ON" - Turnstile
While the record is not out of place in Turnstile’s discography, it features more experimentation and genre-melding tunes than listeners have previously experienced from the band.
"Oracular Spectacular" - MGMT
This album is filled with inventive instrumentation and ironic lyricism, which pokes fun at the rockstar lifestyle and the cliches that come with success in showbusiness.

"Help Us Stranger" - The Raconteurs
"Punisher" - Phoebe Bridgers
Bridgers’ bone-crushing vocals belt poetry of the world’s end, conspiracy theories, and reconciliation with her father.

“Help Us Stranger” is a culmination of decades of songwriting and performing to produce a modern rock album that sounds so familiar, yet so new and inventive.
"Half God" - Wiki
Through the production of Navy Blue, tastefully placed samples and brooding lyricism, “Half God” sounds like a classic New York rap album.

"I Know I'm Funny haha - Faye Webster
Her witty and comical lyrics mean just as much to her as the earnest ones, as they all contribute to a specific tonality or sensation. “I Know I’m Funny haha” flows from track to track effortlessly, creating a floaty and laid-back vibe.
