The Heroic Enthusiasts’ latest EP, Wake Me When It's Over, is a two-track release that expertly bridges 80s New Wave with contemporary electronic textures. Produced by Stephen Hague, a legend behind artists like New Order and Erasure, the New York duo of James Tabbi and Thomas Ferrara bring their Brit-pop and post-punk influences to life with precision and emotional depth.

Childish Gambino surprises us with Atavista, a polished re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20. Gambino originally released the unfinished record during the Covid-19 pandemic as a rushed love letter to his apocalypse anxiety and to his fans. Needing a master and a mix, Gambino resurfaced the entire album and dropped it alongside a list of tour dates. Atavista is an intimate album that somehow maintains oodles of mystique and disconnectivity. The words to the songs are new, but the album's sound isn’t anything that we haven’t heard from Gambino before.
