On slif slaf slof , the highly imaginative duo of Freya Tate and Moina Moin deliver a celebration of medieval folk-meets-electronic and experimental music. The two visual artists/musicians incorporate everything from vocal chants and recorders ("céilí") to sparse, trancey beats ("chaperone") to spoken word and murky synths ("frogsporn"). With other highlights like the melancholy, reggae-flavored "tiny gymnast," the album is an eclectic and intriguing listening experience.

Blink Twice [2024] (BLU)

Zoë Kravitz

After Frida (Naomi Ackie) and her friend Jess accept an invitation to tech billionaire Slater King's (Channing Tatum) private island, things turn decidedly sinister. The wild partying among his wealthy friends features hallucinogenic and memory-altering drugs in this disturbing psychological thriller directed by Zoë Kravitz.

I Got Heaven (LP)

Mannequin Pussy

Mannequin Pussy returns with I Got Heaven , a musical showcase of moods, with all of them hitting equally hard in different ways, often within the same song. Singer and guitarist Marisa Dabice bares her soul on the indie-folk track "I Don't Know You," increasing the volume, distortion, and emotion as the song goes on. Conversely, "Ok? Ok! Ok? Ok!" is a chaotic hardcore banger, replete with a tambourine during the breakdown. Brooding and shoegazey one moment, and bludgeoning you over the head in the next, I Got Heaven happily throws the rulebook out the window and does things the Mannequin Pussy way.

My Method Actor [Green Vinyl] (LP)

Nilüfer Yanya

The third studio album by British singer/songwriter Nilüfer Yanya is characteristically eclectic and interesting. "Like I Say (I Runaway)" has a shuffling, toe-tapping groove and grungy guitar that calls to mind the Smashing Pumpkins, albeit a more cosmopolitan version. "Method Actor" offers a similarly intriguing arrangement with a stronger hook in the chorus. "Call It Love" is gently swooning without being sleepy, Yanya's hushed, deep vocals casting a strong spell. The overall blend of global grooves, indie rock subtlety, and heavy, distorted guitar is fascinating and unique.

Keep It Reel [Silver Vinyl] (LP)

Dwarves

The Dwarves return with another good-spirited, goofy, and in-your-face record of high-octane punk. With seven originals, two remixes, and one track from the band's 2023 Concept Album release, Keep it Reel speeds by as the band delves into surf rock, scuzz punk, classic horror, and loopiness of every order. The melodies channel classic '70s punk while the thematic elments, you guessed it, get weirder and wilder. Keep It Reel is everything you love about The Dwarves, from tightly-constructed raucous rockers to ridiculous and imaginative lyrics.

Trap [2024] (BLU)

M. Night Shyamalan

When a father who is not quite what he seems (Josh Hartnett) brings his teen daughter (Ariel Donoghue) to see pop-star Lady Raven (Saleka), they discover that the concert is a trap to catch a serial killer known as the Butcher. M. Night Shyamalan delivers a characteristically twisty tale in this psychological thriller.

Weird Faith (CD)

Madi Diaz

Themes of life, love, faith are explored on Weird Faith , the latest album from Madi Diaz. Coming off of a stint as a touring guitarist with Harry Styles, Diaz's unique style of introspective indie folk with a pop sheen uses minimal bells and whistles, her voice being the star of the show. The album also features "Don't Do Me Good," a duet with country star Kacey Musgraves.

Erbil (CD)

Omar Souleyman

The Syrian artist’s fifth studio album revitalizes the sound he is known for: a jubilant hybrid of electronic and traditional dabke music. These songs are rich in multi-cultural appeal, as evidenced by the opening track “Yal Harak Qalbe,” which offers the kind of lively beat that would be welcome on any dance floor, and “Ma Andi Gherak Mahbuub,” with its industrial grit. Souleyman’s rich voice produces strong melodies throughout.

Take A Picture [Sun Gold Opaque Vinyl] (LP)

Margo Guryan

1960s singer/songwriter Margo Guryan’s work was recorded by artists such as Glen Campbell, Astrud Gilberto, Cass Elliot, and even Spanky and Our Gang. Best known for her song “Sunday Morning,” she released one album in 1968 of gently psychedelic pop with light, sweet vocals. Newly restored from the original two-track safety masters, Take a Picture kicks off with “Sunday Morning” and reaches new heights with the sunny “What Can I Give You.” For fans of modern indie pop groups that often borrow heavily from this sound.

Milton + esperanza (CD)

Milton Nascimento

Multiple Grammy-winning artist Esperanza Spalding has just released a new collaboration with the legendary Brazilian singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento. Milton + Esperanza is a real treat, featuring new recordings of classics by Nascimento, originals by Spalding, and covers by artists like The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Wayne Shorter. Highlights include Nascimento's uplifting "Outubro" with its lovely dueting vocals and swelling arrangement, and The Beatles' "A Day In The Life," sweetly sung and affecting with a grandly cascading bridge. Elsewhere, Jackson's "Earth Song," sung by guest artist Dianne Reeves, is gorgeous and haunting, and the new track, "Wings for The Thought Bird," is dynamic and delightful.

Stung! (CD)

POND

Stung! is one of those albums that'll remind you of the mood-altering magic of music. Pond throws all the rules out of the window, creating eclectic, dazzling tracks that hop from genre-to-genre, pulling off each with aplomb. "So Lo" channels Prince with an ultra cool funk meets rock groove. The title track hurts so good, with a danceable psychedelia-meets-'60s rock take on romantic rejection. "Neon River" is trippy and ecstatic with spacey guitars and retro electronic flourishes. Stung! is a pure delight.

South Of Here (CD)

Nathaniel Rateliff

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats return with new album, South of Here , brimming with soulful Americana. Tracks like "Heartless" and especially the title track are grand, sweeping numbers with heartfelt vocals. Elsewhere, "David and Goliath" offers a light Beatles-like psych vibe, and "Everybody Wants Something" evokes Paul Simon or perhaps Tom Petty with its catchy, singalong melody. Strong songwriting is evidenced throughout this thoughtful set.
