Moments in Timelessness

More Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Pulp Certainly, any Pulp fan who caught the long-dormant Britpop legends on their 2024 reunion tour would’ve been completely satisfied with just hearing the ’90s classics we never thought we’d get to hear performed live again. But the surprise inclusion of some new tunes on the set list made it clear Jarvis Cocker and co. were not interested in being a mere nostalgia act. And now, less than a year later, Pulp has gifted us with a new album—and while it arrives 24 years after their last one,  More  actually came together with unprecedented expedience. “The previous two Pulp records [2001’s  We Love Life  and 1998’s  This Is Hardcore ] had a bit of a concept for them, and that slowed everything down,” Cocker tells Apple Music. “And this time I just thought, let’s not think about it. Let’s do it. And then you’ve got a lot of time to think about it later. Like the rest of your life, for instance.” With  More , Pulp carries on as ...

caroline 2 Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 caroline An experimental rock outfit based out of London, caroline's patient, meditative songs and instrumentals reflect a shared interest in Midwestern emo, Appalachian folk, and classical minimalism as well as noise. They began with a practice of deconstructing and then rebuilding the same small groups of songs. As they expanded their repertoire and their membership, the band played their first series of shows in alternative spaces in 2018, then delivered their self-titled debut album in 2022. The group returned in 2025 with caroline 2, an adventurous set of song and sound experiments produced by the octet's original three members.

Instant Holograms On Metal Film Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Stereolab Each Stereolab album functions as a portal to a future we once imagined but never achieved: a world of flying cars, egg chairs, and space-age bachelor pads where the coolest Franco-pop, German psychedelic, and Brazilian jazz records are spinning 24/7. And so it remains on the indie icons’ first new album in 15 years, which begins with a minute-long flourish of oscillating synths that sounds like an old mainframe being rebooted back to life.  Instant Holograms on Metal Film  finds the Stereolab machine in perfect working order after an extended period of inactivity, and, if anything, the group sounds eager to make up for lost time with gloriously overstuffed songs that key in on familiar pleasure points while introducing all manner of shapeshifting surprises. “Immortal Hands” eases you into a laidback loungey groove before hitching itself to a funky drum-machine beat and coasting through a dizzying swirl of br...

Hope We Have Fun Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Mt. Joy Mt. Joy Artist ∙ Alternative Formed by a pair of high school friends from Philadelphia who reunited a decade later in L.A., Mt. Joy crafts modern folk rock filled with lush harmonies and percussion-driven melodies. ∙ Although the band was conceived as nothing more than a casual side-project, its founding members dropped their day jobs after the viral success of their 2016 single, “Astrovan.” ∙ It took more than four months for “Silver Lining,” a meditative look at addiction from their self-titled 2018 debut, to climb to No. 1 on  Billboard ’s Adult Alternative Songs chart. ∙  Rolling Stone  and NPR are among the outlets that have praised the band, with the latter naming them to its 2018 list of Slingshot Artists, a title given to public radio’s rising stars. ∙ Tucker Martine—named one of  Paste ’s 10 Best Producers of the Decade in 2009—worked on 2020’s  Rearrange Us , which was a vinyl bestseller the week that...

Get Sunk Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Matt Berninger Matt Berninger Artist ∙ Alternative In both his solo work and as leader of Grammy-winning outfit the National, Matt Berninger is a singer and songwriter recognized for his deep baritone, brooding delivery, and contemplative, literate lyrics. Berninger rose to fame early in the 2000s with a mixture of alternative country-rock, Americana, and chamber pop as well as post-punk. Merging these sounds into moody, crafted indie rock, their earliest albums won a dedicated fan base and critical praise before they charted with their fourth LP, 2007's Boxer, which embraced a more expansive, orchestral sound. The National catapulted into the Top Three in multiple countries with 2010's High Violet, and 2017's Sleep Well Beast made Berninger and his bandmates Grammy winners. In 2020, Berninger released his solo debut, the ruminative Serpentine Prison. The National remained a Top 20 act in their third decade, while Berninger continued his ...

Forever Howlong Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Black Country, New Road By the time Black Country, New Road released their sprawling second album  Ants from Up There  in 2022, lead vocalist Isaac Wood had departed the London-based indie experimentalists and a magical first phase of the group had come to a close. Rather than tour those records without their original singer, they rejigged their dynamic and wrote a whole new batch of songs—captured on 2023’s  Live at Bush Hall —to initiate a new period of the band where vocals and much of the songwriting were led by Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw. It made for an exhilarating fresh start and their third album  Forever Howlong  directly picks up from the momentum of starting over again. “We’d done a lot of touring of the live album and we really wanted to further develop this new lineup and write new songs so we could get them into the set list,” saxophonist Lewis Evans tells Apple Music. “There’s a whole bun...

The Crux Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Djo The creation—and especially the success—of his 2024 viral hit “End of Beginning” prepared Djo, the musical alter ego of  Stranger Things  star Joe Keery, for the recording of his third album. “It was a boost of confidence and a good shot in the arm,” he tells Apple Music. “Doing a song from beginning to end in a studio and getting bit by that was like, ‘Oh man, this is how I want to do this. I don’t think I really want to try to do this in my bedroom.’” Famed New York City studio Electric Lady provided Keery and his frequent producer Adam Thein with the environment they needed. “We were using all the toys,” Keery notes. “This piece of gear was laying around, so let’s mess with it. And it ends up, it informs the whole track. There’s a lot of that going on on this record.” And so,  The Crux  was born. Unlike his past endeavors, this time he chose to focus on collaboration. “I came up musically in a time where it was Kevin Parker ...

Glory Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Perfume Genius The remarkable thing about Mike Hadreas’ music is how he manages to fit such big feelings into such small, confined spaces. Like 2020’s  Set My Heart on Fire Immediately , 2025’s  Glory  (also produced by the ever-subtle but ever-engaging Blake Mills) channels the kind of gothic Americana that might soundtrack a David Lynch diner or the atmospheric opening credits of a show about hot werewolves: a little campy, a little dark, a lot of passions deeply felt. The bold moments here are easy to grasp (“It’s a Mirror,” “Me & Angel”), but it’s the quieter ones that make you sit up and listen (“Capezio,” “In a Row”). Once he found beauty in letting go, now he finds it in restraint.

Constellations For The Lonely Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Doves If ever a band could seize victory from the jaws of defeat, it’s Doves. Rising, quite literally, from the flames of house outfit Sub Sub after their studio burned down at the end of the ’90s, the Manchester trio—Jimi Goodwin and twin brothers Andy and Jez Williams—alchemized a peculiarly northern strain of melancholy into soaring, atmospheric rock, scoring two Mercury Music Prize nominations in the process.  Constellations for the Lonely  is the group’s sixth album and their second following a decade-long hiatus, which ended with 2020’s  The Universal Want . However, Goodwin’s issues with addiction and mental health meant that he was unavailable for much of the album’s recording. Rather than sounding like the work of a band in crisis, though,  Constellations for the Lonely  is one of Doves’ best efforts yet. From dystopian,  Blade Runner -evoking opener “Renegade” and the cinematic, neo-psychede...
