Back in 2020, The Strokes released their sixth album, “The New Abnormal,” and in doing so, aged gracefully into their status as a legacy act. They’re not necessarily doing anything new, but they’re doing what they’ve always been good at and doing it well (which is more than one can say for other legacy acts).

The Minnesota-based indie pop/rock band Hippo Campus released a new album, “LP3,” last weekend — their first full-length project since 2018. The album follows up on the edgier sound and subject matter from their 2021 EP “Good Dog, Bad Dream.” Releasing four singles in advance of the 10-track album, listeners knew what to expect when

As the seasons change throughout the year, so do people. In art, this is an important aspect to consider. My life has been centered around music for as long as I can remember. Throughout this time, I’ve seen what and who I listen to change as I discover new artists and as the artists I

It may have been originally overshadowed by the simultaneous release of “Red (Taylor’s Version)” Nov. 12, but “An Evening with Silk Sonic” has been doing quite well with critics and fans alike. In case you aren’t aware, the duo Silk Sonic consists of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, two very well-known artists in the modern

Released on Oct. 29, 2021, “Moral Panic (The Complete Edition)” was a surprise for fans of the British alt-rock band Nothing But Thieves. The group had released an LP and an EP of the same name within the past year, and the combination of the two has produced remarkable results. The LP, titled “Moral Panic,”

After months-long controversies and several record-breaking singles, Lil Nas X’s debut LP “Montero” was finally released on Sept. 17. Despite having built his career on internet fame and gimmicky bops, this album differs wildly in its content and shows listeners a more vulnerable and real side to the artist. Lil Nas X’s first hit single

ABBA announced on Sept. 2 that they will reunite to release a new album — 40 years after the last one — and host a concert with digital performances in London. Featuring previously unreleased songs recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, “Voyage” will be released on Nov. 5. The performance, dubbed “ABBA Voyage,” was created after months

Singer-songwriter Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor — known by casual fans as “Lorde” — staked her claim to my brain space in 2019, and she has not left since. I have three Spotify playlists dedicated to this woman. When I’m not listening to her music, I’m asking myself when more might come. “Lorde, where is the

In keeping with his reputation as the Jonas brother with the most swag, Nick Jonas’ new solo album “Spaceman” is driven by synthetic pop backtracks and lyrics about love. Given the Jonas brothers’ recent reunion, the release of another solo album from the youngest brother comes as a bit of a surprise. Still, Jonas returns

To most people it’s spooky season, but to me, it’s Oingo Boingo season. During the month of October, I listen to Oingo Boingo almost every day to get into the Halloween spirit. Not every song is necessarily “Halloweeny,” but their dark-humored spirit and mystic undertones get you in the spirit for this very festive holiday.
