New This Week: Robyn, Smail Mail, The New Pornographers, Courtney Barnett, Raye, The Charlatans, Tom Misch, Fcukers, Elmiene and more…

Robyn’s Sexistential returns to the club as a site of release and reckoning, as The Boxer Rebellion’s The Second I’m Asleep returns to their atmospheric indie core. Snail Mail’s Ricochet pushes Lindsey Jordan’s songwriting into heavier territory — louder, sharper, and less guarded.

The New Pornographers’ The Former Site Of refines their power-pop instincts with dense harmonies and restless hooks, as Courtney Barnett’s Creature of Habitdoubles down on her deadpan storytelling, turning everyday loops into something quietly profound.

Raye’s THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. lands as a statement of survival and control, blending orchestral soul and modern pop with hard-earned perspective, sitting neatly alongside Tom Misch’s Full Circle, a groove-led return to his jazz-funk roots with a renewed sense of purpose.

The Charlatans’ Some Friendly (35th Anniversary Edition) revisits Madchester’s peak with added depth and context, Fcukers’ Ö delivers abrasive, leftfield electronics that refuse to sit still, and Elmiene’s Sounds For Someone keeps things stripped-back and intimate — a voice, a feeling, and not much else needed.
