SLIFT ILION - SUB POP CD/LP
Slifts third album and first to be released through Sub Pop, Ilion, is their strongest and most fully realized set of astral sojourns to date—even if it’s a good three minutes shorter than its predecessor, 2020’s Ummon. Deceptively massive in its sound for being the work of a trio, Ilion filters the influence of Joseph Campbell and Homer’s Odyssey into eight sprawling tracks that waste precious little space in their seemingly limitless expanse. Even as their dirges unfold seemingly unto infinity, the journey’s never less than exhilarating. - TREBLEZINE
GREEN DAY SAVIORS - REPRISE LP/CASSETTE
This isn’t the first time in recent history that a new Green Day album’s been hailed as the “best since American Idiot,” and it remains to be seen if Saviors ends up having more longevity than, say, Revolution Radio. But right now, it’s pretty easy to imagine people shouting along to some of these choruses at a stadium near you this summer, and that’s nothing to scoff at–even if it’s because of how much they sound like they could already be Green Day songs. - BROOKLYN VEGAN
SLEATER- KINNEY LITTLE ROPE - LOMA VISTA CD/LP
Little Rope is not an optimistic record, but for all the alienation in its circling riffs and martial beats, its existence stands as a challenge to everything that would take you down. Hell is probably round the corner, but here, at least, Sleater-Kinney burn with a fire that’s all their own. - MOJO
