Arcade Fire, Pink Elephant, Released May 9
Somehow, Arcade Fire’s sound is still as fresh and unique as it felt in 2007 with the release of Neon Bible, and again in 2010’s The Suburbs, which won the Grammy for Album of the Year. A decade and a half later, they are still beautifully carving out a niche no other band can fit into. The slightly psychedelic but melodic riffs on songs like the opening track, Open Your Heart or Die Trying, keep us coming back for more over and over again.
The Cure, Mixes of a Lost World, Released June 13
You already know The Cure, and if you were young (or young at heart) in the ’80s, you probably already love them. In 2024, the band released Songs of a Lost World, their first studio album in nearly two decades. This year’s release, Mixes of a Lost World, remixes each of the eight songs on that album, offering fans something new and unique while Robert Smith dreams up his next masterpiece.
