World Wide Whack

Tierra Whack
Five years after her brief but spectacular debut, Tierra Whack digs deep into her psyche for an anxious, dark, and raw follow-up. She remains a magnetic performer even if the music has lost some of its color.

Pinball

MIKE / Tony Seltzer
Continuing his impressive run, MIKE links with the Brooklyn producer for a deliriously fun record of low-stakes raps and bubbly beats. It’s the most energetic project the rapper’s ever made, an unexpected but welcome vibe change.

The World of Harry Partch

Harry Partch
Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we revisit the 1969 album that provided a pioneering experimental composer with his own scales and instruments to make music that elevated stories from the fringes of American life to mythological status.

Power to the People

Joe Henderson
Best New Reissue
The virtuoso saxophonist’s 1969 album with Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Jack DeJohnette is an essential document of a transitional moment in which everything in jazz seemed up for grabs.

Three

Four Tet
Kieren Hebden has been letting loose on stage, but he keeps it restrained on his smartly sequenced album that deftly incorporates virtually every style of music that he’s made over the years.
