Red Moon In Venus
Kali Uchis | Geffen

Manzanita
Shana Cleveland | Hardly Art
A supernatural love album set in the California wilderness, Manzanita is Shana Cleveland’s most personal album yet. Following her breast cancer diagnosis, the American musician's third solo album switches to a slightly different sonic palette this time round. With downcast, Western-style acoustics and dazzling production, Cleveland’s breathy voice matched with her soft, but stunning vocals, is utterly captivating.

Fauna
Haken | Inside Out Music
British progressive metal band Haken’s seventh studio album follows the theme of animal behaviour and its parallels to human behaviour. The band leaned heavily on American science fiction writer PKD for lyrical inspiration on Fauna. Though it still features soaring choruses, the tone is certainly more lighthearted than previous entries, with the band confirming their new musical direction, stating “This is a new era for Haken and we cannot wait to share it with all of you!”.
