12 Albums Out This Week You Should Listen to Now

Harmony Tividad is done with the intentional brain-rot pop of Gossip, at least for now. The former Girlpool member picks back up the acoustic guitar and, with it, her natural instincts for indie-pop earworms. Broadly recounting an endless cycle of becoming in the modern world, Lifetime is a detailed and thoughtful reflection that takes note of life’s smallest details and always cradles them with a gentle heart. “Mulholland Drive,” “Lifetime,” and “Your Strange Addiction” land like familiar staples of the past, with easygoing melodies that never sound fussed over, even when Tividad indulges in vocal effects.

Brutalismus 3000: Harmony [Live From Earth/Columbia]

When producer Theo Zeitner and singer Victoria Vassiliki Daldas linked up in Berlin back in 2020, they didn’t expect their aggressive spin on techno to take off as quickly as it did. Together as Brutalismus 3000, the two bring a punk spirit to the dancefloor, merging the shared energy of both genres with subwoofer-and-guitar breakdowns, screamed lyrics that put you in a trance, and the type of stuttering beats that both genres can agree on. On Harmony, their sophomore album, the duo gleefully throws dubstep, nu-metal, and trap in a blender with the lid off, letting their influences splatter the walls and drawing out their initials.
