RIYL: Parquet Courts, Women, Crumb, Telehealth

What they say: The Montréal band have always put their own spin on post-punk, mixing a tight, jittery rhythm section with a florid and expansive melodic palette and the firepower to really and truly rock out. Those tendencies remain on new album Mimi, but it’s all elevated into a holographic state, sometimes smeared and blurry, sometimes stunningly crystalline. - Stereogum

What we say: Wonderfully energetic sound. Nearly impossible to stay still while listening. Interesting textures and unusual song structures made this an instant favorite release for 2024. - Keith
