Wang Wen ~ Invisible City
The Invisible City is what remains after young people desert the infrastructure in search of better jobs and cleaner air. Wang Wen watched this exodus occur in Dailan, China, a city the band describes as “grim,” yet proudly, “home.” The album title is

Foxhole ~ Well Kept Thing / Keeper
It’s rare for one of our favorite bands to sneak out an album without telling us, but in the case of Foxhole, it’s understandable; the Kentucky band’s last release was in 2006, a full five years before we existed. Yes, post-rock

When Push Comes to Shove: Do We Tug? Or Do We Poll? (United States Midterm Elections List, 2018)
