Tranquil and reverberant, the North Carolina folk songwriter’s new album finds relief and resolution in the circadian rhythms of the natural world.

The second album from the UK pop producer is pleasant and anonymous, all good vibes and cabana jams.

Featuring dual saxophones, synthesizers, voice, and drums, the new group led by Montreal composer John Hollenbeck analyzes pop songcraft through a jazz lens.

The Chicago headbangers’ fifth LP is a confident nod to early grunge. It’s an unusually succinct statement for them, with leaner songwriting and more pointed barbs.

Spanning the sessions for 1997’s Time Out of Mind, an illuminating new edition of Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series both subverts and magnifies the legend of his haunted, trancelike comeback album.

After an arresting opener, the singer-songwriter’s second album wanders into a fog of existential angst and you-had-to-be-there anecdotes.

With anthemic hardcore hooks and unabashed lyrics about the power of love, the Toronto band’s latest album radiates fired-up joy.
