Father John Misty: Chloë and the Next 20th Century [Sub Pop]
Nearly four years after proclaiming himself God’s Favorite Customer, Joshua Tillman sweeps through as Father John Misty again with the ornate Chloë and the Next 20th Century. His latest LP is a foray into a cynically tinted dream world, indebted to the sounds of classic Hollywood heartbreak and romance. He makes a slippery gambit for affection on “Funny Girl,” and “Q4” arrived with a video that’s an extended opening credits sequence for a film. A deluxe edition of Chloë comes with a 7″ of Lana Del Rey and David Lynch (credited as Jack Cruz) covering songs from the record. Read Anna Gaca’s review of Chloë and the Next 20th Century, which she says “feels designed to age well because it sounds a bit ageless.”

Vince Staples: Ramona Park Broke My Heart [Blacksmith/Motown]
Vince Staples is back with another full-length less than a year after his previous album, July 2021’s Vince Staples. The new album, Ramona Park Broke My Heart, was previewed by “Magic” and “Rose Street.” Staples has said of the project’s title, “It’s symbolic of home. And everyone has a home. Even though it’s very personal to me, everyone can relate to it. That’s why I thought it would work for this chapter.”

Wet Leg—the British indie rock duo of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers—have released their debut self-titled album. Much of the album was recorded in London before the band had played its first show. “I wanted to write fun songs, I didn’t want to indulge sad feelings too much, I wanted to write stuff that’s fun to listen to and fun to play,” Teasdale said of the album in a statement. “But then, the sad seeps through, as well.”
