New records by Moses Sumney, BlueBucksClan, Kamaiyah, King Krule, and Kodie Shane run the gamut from double albums through EPs and mixtapes. The Strokes double down on ‘Bad Decisions’, The Weeknd skulks after hours, while Waxahatchee and John Carroll Kirby tease wide open vistas. Jessy Lanza is back, for the first time since Oh No in 2016, with ‘Lick In Heaven’ suggesting amid the spin an upcoming third album on Hyperdub. And Aporia, by Sufjan Stevens and his stepfather Lowell Brams, looks set to bring New Age buzzing into this upstart decade.
