Falling for Robots and Wishing I Was One by LØLØ is an engaging debut that captures the essence of modern pop-punk with a dash of vulnerability. LØLØ, the stage name for Toronto’s Lauren Mandel, has crafted an album that speaks directly to the heart of her generation, dealing with themes of love, heartbreak, and the complexities of human emotion versus the cold indifference of “robotic” partners.
The Legend of ABM by Angry Blackmen is an audacious and visceral plunge into the psyche of black masculinity, capitalism, and the dystopian shadows of contemporary America. Quentin Branch and Brian Warren, the duo behind Angry Blackmen, have crafted an album that is both a sonic assault and an introspective journey, making it one of the most compelling entries in the industrial hip-hop genre for the year.
