Anata
Joshua Chuquimia Crampton
The Los Thuthanaka guitarist celebrates the joy of performance through meteoric playing and unvarnished texture on a new solo album inspired by Aymara ceremony.
The Boy who cried Terrified .
fakemink
The Essex-born poster boy for the 2020s zeitgeist celebrates turning 21 with a nervy, high-octane take on his bedroom rap melancholia. His reputation precedes him now and he knows it.
Jessica Pratt
Asher White
The Providence songwriter covers Jessica Pratt's 2012 debut in its entirety, injecting the stark originals with a jubilant, chaotic energy.
Graze the Bell
David Moore
The Bing & Ruth composer’s first album under his own name features solo piano music with larger-than-life physicality. His open-ended compositions resemble a mind in conversation with itself.
Behind the Magnolia Curtain
Tav Falco’s Panther Burns
Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit a cult 1981 garage rock record steeped in Memphis lore. With Alex Chilton as his sideman, the provocative Tav Falco brought blues and rockabilly screaming into the post-punk era.

Tranquilizer
Oneohtrix Point NeverBest New AlbumDrawing on a cache of commercial sample CDs, Daniel Lopatin assembles an impossibly dense and transportive electronic album that takes impermanence as its inspiration.
West End Girl
Lily AllenWith an album that doubles as an insider’s account of a tabloid divorce, the singer finds a new evolution of her signature style: Lightness isn’t a foil for irony, but a vehicle for hurt.
Repulsor
ShlohmoThe L.A. beatmaker turns aggressive on his fourth album—dialing up the distortion, flooding his beats with overdriven synths, and pushing anxious moods into the red.
