Find Trent Reznor in The Club

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.

This week, legends of industrial pop and electronic dance music meld minds, musicians from Congo and Cuba show off their ingenuity, a New York songwriter spins into jazzy art-pop, and a storied hip-hop duo contemplates what all this rap shit means.
