Trespassers in the stereo field

New this week: The Scholars finds Car Seat Headrest pushing their anxious indie rock into sleeker, stranger shapes—equal parts wounded diary and sci-fi concept LP. Natural Information Society & Bitchin Bajas join forces on Totality, a hypnotic sprawl of cosmic jazz and minimalist drift that feels like watching the sun rise through a kaleidoscope. Jenny Hval’s Iris Silver Mist is as lyrically incisive as ever, a shape-shifting art-pop séance where nothing stays still for long. The Fun of Watching Fireworks, The American Analog Set’s slowcore classic, gets a long-overdue reissue—still as hushed, hypnotic, and precise as it was in 1996. And the new Steven Wilson mix of Pink Floyd: At Pompeii MCMLXXII lets the band’s live psych maelstrom breathe anew—otherworldly, raw, and heavier than you remember.
