- AllMusic Staff Pick Tortoise Standards Revered for their ineffably clean, precise playing, Tortoise couldn't help but mess with the formula slightly on their fourth album, Standards, released 25 years ago this month. And from the beginning of the first track it sounds like a major overhaul.
- A playful, sometimes danceable turn for Marta Del Grandi's textured art pop, although existential anxieties lurk in its lyrics.
- AllMusic Staff Pick Paolo Conte Reveries The eccentric Italian singer/songwriter's catalog is deep and varied, and on this 2003 set for Nonesuch, he revisits a number of older songs with updated, and extremely tasteful arrangements that favor bandoneon, piano, and occasionally kazoo.
- AllMusic spoke with director Fernando Trueba about the making of the Bossa Nova detective film "They Shot the Piano Player," the research that went into it, and what he's working on next.
- In the middle of a hot streak, Leon Thomas serves up an EP that showcases his flexible band.
- Chuck Negron, 1942-2026 As one of the powerhouse vocalists behind Three Dog Night, Negron and his group scored 18 consecutive Top 20 singles, including number ones like "Mama Told Me Not to Come," "Joy to the World," and "Black and White."
- AllMusic Staff Pick Various Artists Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground Rhino attempted to sum up the broad spectrum of '80s college rock with this four-CD box set, covering everything from new wave and jangle pop to goth and industrial.
- The soundtrack companion to the fifth and final season of the hit sci-fi, coming-of-age saga.
- AllMusic Staff Pick Moonlove May Never Happen This is about as obscure as indie rock gets, but Moonlove's jangly guitars and earnest Velvet Underground worship work their way through filters of melody and melancholy for somethings rare and magical.
- Young Guv take a turn from re-creating the sounds of power pop to those of the early-'90s U.K. scene -- shoegaze, Madchester, baggy, etc.
