Mitski – Laurel Hell

Genre: Indie rock/synth-pop
Sound: Avant-garde instrumentation elevates ’80s-pop-inspired anthems and mournful alt-rock tracks alike
If you like: Phoebe Bridgers, Japanese Breakfast, Snail Mail

Why you should listen: Mitski makes her discomfort with her own fame no secret in this heavily anticipated album. This is the last record she’s contractually obligated to make with her label, and she uses it to zero in on capitalism and the music industry with palpable exhaustion and anger. She breaks tradition as well with a newfound exploration of ’80s synth-pop and electronica aesthetics.

Best track: Love Me More
