Music for Crashing Out
Albums contending with divorce, expatriation, suburban malaise, and other concerns
Welcome to the latest installment of Five Albums, the weekly feature for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we discuss a handful of new records catching our attention. As music journalists, the question we get most often from friends is how to stay on top of what’s happening now. This is our attempt to provide a practical answer.
Get access to everything we do at Hearing Things—including weekly album and song recommendations along with our ever-growing archive of interviews and reports—with a free 30-day trial!
This week we review a mind-blowing solo album from a storied bass guitarist, an alt-country paean to suburban malaise, Lily Allen airing out her personal garbage on delectable pop, and more.
