Ails,”The Unraveling”
Courtney Barnett, “Tell Me How You Really Feel”
Black Milk, “Fever”
Ilsa, “Corpse Fortress”
Chris Orrick, “Portraits”
Saba, “CARE FOR ME”
Skyzoo, “A Celebration of Us”
Sleep, “The Sciences”
Superchunk, “What a Time to Be Alive”
Various “Black Panther Soundtrack”
Yob, “Our Raw Heart”
The Ails album is a blast of black/death metal with a healthy dose of hardcore. Aggression channelled for more than macho BS. Courtney Barnett's latest is less fun than her last album, but I actually like it more. Black Milk's newest sees him continuing to grow as a rapper and producer. Ilsa make ugly, dirty sludge that is like a tonic of gravel and bile. Chris Orrik's "Portraits" is a really honest album about screwing up. Saba's is emo rap done well. Skyzoo is old school rap that totally delivers. Sleep's newest is maybe their best yet. Superchunk's latest is the perfect protest album. The Black Panther soundtrack is black excellence at work, and Yob's "Our Raw Heart" is a powerful look at life and death. My favorite song is "The Original Face," a blistering and raw examination of the Zen koan about your original face.
