NEVER ENOUGH
NEVER ENOUGH Album ∙ Rock ∙ 2025 Turnstile Turnstile is hardly the first band raised in a tight-knit DIY hardcore punk scene to graduate to big-tent popularity and grapple with what that success should look like. For the Baltimore-based five-piece, a stint opening for blink-182’s 2023 reunion tour served as a hands-on apprenticeship. “That summer was definitely a master class of existing in that space,” Turnstile bassist Franz Lyons tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “Riding with blink, they’re great people, but also their supporting cast—everything they do behind the scenes is very sharp, and it was cool to be in a situation where you have to learn how to mend your creative way to a different lens.” These lessons all came in handy in the making of their fourth album, NEVER ENOUGH , which doubles down on the genre-expanding—and, subsequently, audience-expanding—twists of 2021’s breakthrough GLOW ON and throws in an ambitious visual-album component that ties all 14 songs to...
Dominion
Dominion Album ∙ Rock ∙ 2025 IQ salty adjective : (’90s & before) containing or tasting like salt → (today) angry, bitter, or resentful The non-culinary usage of salty began as a term in the early 20th century to describe the tough characteristic of sailors, which often resulted in profanity, i.e., salty language. By the 1970s the term had been adapted in African American Vernacular English (AAVE), building on the earlier definition to describe someone feeling bitter or resentful, argh! By the early 2000s (and thanks to the online community of gamers and influencers) this delightful usage of the word hit the high skies and never came back down. Hopefully you’re not salty about this. Modern usage : Being happy for someone else’s success makes you happier. Go try it and stop being salty . – @ZarnainAhmed12, X, April 21, 2025

Pink Elephant
Pink Elephant Album ∙ Rock ∙ 2025 Arcade Fire If you’re surprised that Pink Elephant , the first album by Arcade Fire in three tumultuous years, begins with a cinematic three-minute drone that summons the deep-space sounds of Morton Subotnick, check the credits. Alongside Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, Daniel Lanois—a fellow Canadian who has applied a near-magical touch to records by U2, Bob Dylan, and Brian Eno for nearly half a century—co-produced the band’s seventh album, speckling it with stereo delays and assorted abstractions. In fact, that opener, “Open Your Heart or Die Trying,” is but one of three instrumentals on this 10-track record. Where “Beyond Salvation” embeds scrambled samples amid a fantastic glissando, “She Cries Diamond Rain” is a celestial hum. These wordless pieces from the famously righteous Montreal-based outfit suggest a band trying to reimagine its future in the present, trying to feel its way forward after personnel and personal complications since 202...
D's WAVE
D's WAVE Album ∙ Rock ∙ 2025 DAESUNG Kang Daesung, known simply as DAESUNG to his fans, rose to fame as a member of the second-generation K-pop group BIGBANG. The group, which also includes G-DRAGON and TAEYANG, debuted in 2006 and would go on to become one of the most popular K-pop groups of all time. As a soloist, DAESUNG has made a big impact in Japan (where he is known as D-Lite), but 2025’s D’s WAVE was the first Korean-language solo EP for the Korean singer, 19 years after he first debuted. Like his Japanese releases and the solo songs done under the BIGBANG moniker, the eight tracks on D’s WAVE make use of DAESUNG’s powerful vocals. On the pop-rock lead single “Universe”, the Korean singer builds to an exclamatory, joyful chorus: “Beyond the darkness/Found my own/A universe filled with you.” Like the wave referenced in the album title, DAESUNG’s bold, expressive tenor washes over the listeners in the EP’s successive ballads.
Who Believes In Angels?
Who Believes In Angels? Album ∙ Rock ∙ 2025 Elton John & Brandi Carlile “I’ve been singing with Elton all my life—he just didn’t know it until about 10 or 20 years ago,” Brandi Carlile tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about working with the storied singer-songwriter Sir Elton John. Featuring compositions co-written by John and Carlile along with John’s longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin and producer Andrew Watt, their collaborative album Who Believes in Angels? is a triumphant collection that celebrates the eternal promise held by music. For John, after ending his touring career in 2023 on the highest note possible with performances at Dodger Stadium and Glastonbury, he was seeking a project that would be forward-looking and feel different from his usual collaboration with Taupin. “If I’d just made another Elton John record, I would’ve killed myself,” he says. “I needed her. I needed her talent, her energy, her humor, and her brilliant lyrics. I’ve got two of the...
