A deeply stirring, emotionally charged instrumental album. Pelican, Chicago’s post-rock pioneers, return with Flickering Resonance, a thunderous album with more than its fair share of introspection. The result? Affirmation that Pelican retains its status as a masterful storyteller with wildly good music, sans vocals. That’s right—Pelican knows how to enrapture audiences without words.

From Redditor u/lolaohlola:AITA for canceling a guy’s Airbnb booking after finding out he was trying to host his wedding at our house without permission? So my parents recently bought a house. Before the sale, the previous owners had some Airbnb bookings lined up, but they canceled them once the house sold. My parents were told they could let those people rebook at a discounted rate if they wanted to. One guy rebooked for a weekend in July. Everything seemed fine. Booked for 8 people, no big deal.

Melvins 1983’s Thunderball Is a Punk-Blasted Gut PunchMelvins 1983 is back with Thunderball, and it doesn’t ease listeners in. Instead, this album of epic proportions drops like a punk rock brick, demanding attention from the onset. Unlike the slow-burning sludge rock Melvins’ fans are accustomed to in their traditional records, Melvins 1983 Thunderball is sharp, fast, and brilliantly unpolished, all while retaining the band’s original members as a nod to the days of early Washington rock.

Skeletá blends haunting darkness with raw emotion. Ghost’s Skeletá is an album that doesn’t just push boundaries—it amplifies their signature sound. Even though it carries the band’s dark, theatrical vibe that fans can’t get enough of, it also offers a deeper glimpse into more introspective themes. The band isn’t known to shy away from the contemplative; this album is unabashed proof. “Peacefield” grabs the mood by the horns, its sound brooding and pensive.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs are back with their latest album, Death Hilarious, filled with a sound that strips away pomp and circumstance and doesn’t care about being polished or overly structured. Their latest record is undeniably gritty and chaotic, infusing heavy riffs with lyrics that refuse to cater to societal norms while pushing boundaries.
