We're just about through the summer and I think it's high time we report in on some of the records that have most resonated with us here at WXOU so far this year.


September 2026 AOTM: The New Abnormal by The Strokes
The New Abnormal is not just a great selection of songs with a variety of pop hooks, raw vocals, and spacey electronics. The album feels like a reunion, like a group of friends getting over their grievances and petty disagreements to recognize their care for one another.

August 2026 AOTM: Perdition City by Ulver
Perdition City is perhaps the biggest left-field homerun I've come across in music. A band so successful at one kind of music completely abandoning their sound for something a whole universe away stylistically.

They Might Be Giants: Eccentricity Across the Ages

The Musical Ghost of EARTHBLADE
Across the Bounds of Fate is something of a concept album allowing Lena Raine full freedom to memorialize what could have been with EARTHBLADE.

March AOTM #2: An Undying Love for a Burning World by Neurosis
For years now fans have been in agreement that if there was anyone who could revive the band, it would be Aaron Turner. It would seem Neurosis agreed.

March AOTM #1: Labor Days by Aesop Rock
Tonally, the album veers from softer tracks like "Daylight" to more aggressive and lyrically condemning tracks like "Shovel" which criticizes the music industry and tries to defame music criticism... oops.
