No Shape
Perfume Genius
Perfume Genius is the stage name for Seattle-based solo artist Mike Hadreas who has been making music since 2008. His fourth album sees him shift emotional gears to an altogether more assured place, with the 13 tracks on No Shape freely wheeling into experimental terrain with utter ease. When a passion is this daring and unbridled, saddle up and enjoy the ride.

Slowdive
The first new release in 22 years for the British rock band Slowdive proves they haven’t lost their original mastery of shoegaze that made them beloved in the first place, but their latest offering combines it with dream pop in a far more accessible manner. Described by many as the band’s most engaging, varied, and eclectic album to date, they still manage to fill it with plenty of distortion, reverb, and other effects. A winning formula for past and future fans

Pleasure
Leslie Feist
Ever since she began her solo career in 1999, Canadian musician Leslie Feist has proven herself to be an artist who glows with relaxed assuredness and authentic positivity. On Pleasure there is unexpected rattle of early PJ Harvey (on tracks like Pleasure) as the album spends 11 songs examining matters of life and all that comes with it. On her fifth album, Feist has invited listeners into an introspective world, taking them on a raw adventure that never fails to sursprise.
