Jeff Rosenstock: NO DREAM (Punk, Rock) (2020)

The scrappy punk energy is effectively encapsulated in intimate, angsty tunes that foray into power pop even if many of the songs may seem short the performances explosive. Sonically NO DREAM may not be too elaborate or novel, but Jeff's performances are for the most part explosive, emotive and compelling enough to connect with most punk, rock, pop fans (in that order). Favourite tracks include Nikes (Alt), Scram!, N O D R E A M, State Line, The Beauty of Breathing, Honeymoon Ashtray.

King Krule: Man Alive! (2020) (Art-rock,Jazz-Punk,Post-Punk)

 Ballads of anguish and isolation. Haunting psychedelic attempts are woven in the songs whether it be the distorted, plucky, hellish guitars and the occasional saxophone usage or the ghoulish backing tracks and adlibs. Some songs are structured unique and memorable, while a few feel too wispy, wallowing in an excess of sadness and space. 

Best Tracks: Cellular, Stone Again*, Comet Face*, Perfecto Miserable, Alon Omen 3, Airport Antenatal Airplane
