patten: GLOW
Working with a stripped-down palette of synthesizers and almost no drums, the UK producer reconnects with the fundamental sense of strangeness that runs through his best music.

The Beths: Jump Rope Gazers
On their second LP, the New Zealand indie rockers downshift into a muted, sleeker sound, sacrificing some of the energy that made their debut special.

Kacy Hill: Is It Selfish If We Talk About Me Again
The singer and former G.O.O.D. Music signee returns with a palette of adult contemporary synth-pop and early-’10s R&B. It’s bright and open, built with sounds that move and breathe with the artist.

Model Home: One Year
The experimental D.C. duo’s latest album is made up of slabs of textured noise and decayed vocals, but they use their DIY chaos as a radical force against all hierarchies.

Rufus Wainwright: Unfollow the Rules
Rufus Wainwright’s first original album in eight years isn’t so much a reinvention as an opulently crafted highlight reel, a career-spanning sampler of the singer’s many styles and guises.
