Blue Rev
Alvvays | Polyvinyl
Alvvays euphoric third studio album, Blue Rev, is jangle pop at its very finest. It was a long journey for the Canadian indie rockers to release their latest record, with some of its songs written all the way back in 2017. With ripping guitar solos, punk vibes and stonking production, it was well worth the wait and its an album that is sure to give you goosebumps.

YTI⅃AƎЯ
Bill Callahan | Drag City
“Rouse their love, their kindness” says Bill Callahan on the motivation behind YTI⅃AƎЯ, his eighth studio album. A natural follow-on from his Gold Record release in 2020, the American singer-songwriter draws inspiration from his own life across twelve beautiful songs, just an hour long. With hushed sounds and multiple voices hiding behind each delicate track, YTI⅃AƎЯ is both poignant and charming.

Capricorn Sun
TSHA | Ninja Tune
British dance producer TSHA brings her intricate, electric sound to her promising debut album, Capricorn Sun.
