Munting

The Scottish duo are in their comfort zone in this dreamy yet haunting electronic soundscape. Inferno isn't ambient music that you zone out to, but rather you tune in to.

Favorite song: Arena Americanada

This album is a lovely layering of guitar, piano, and synths in Kurt Vile's love letter to Philadelphia. Laid back and cool. I just wish at times that Vile was a better singer.

Favorite song: Holiday OKV

It's beautiful but forgettable; it does very little to separate itself from the rest of the Swedish singer's catalog.

Favorite song: Losing Game (Sick)

Genesis Owusu is becoming one of the most consistently intriguing artists in hip hop these days. Redstar Wu picks up right where STRUGGLER and Smiling With No Teeth left off, with kinetic propulsive grooves. The Australian star is on a roll.

Favorite song: Stampede
