stay inside

From Run The Jewels to Fiona Apple to Hum to Bartees Strange to Napalm Death to Mary Lattimore, here are our favorite albums of this whirlwind year...

The best punk, hardcore, emo, etc that 2020 had to offer, from Jeff Rosenstock to Touche Amore to Soul Glo to Svalbard, and much, much more...

Bartees Strange's great debut album doesn't defy genre so much as it rejects the concept of it completely. It crosses barriers between indie/art rock, post-hardcore/emo, abrasive noise-rap, R&B, dance beats, bedroom folk, and more...
