STAFF PICK
It only took three years of waiting for Remi Wolf to drop her sophomore album, Big Ideas, and I was not disappointed. This is a jam-in-your-car, scream-in-your-room, stare-at-the-wall-and-contemplate-all-your-mistakes vibe all rolled into one unskippable record. It’s got the funky psych-pop beats with stunning vocals that we’ve come to expect from Remi, with a smattering of emo grunge that makes me feel like you’re “Alone in Miami.” This LP is on repeat whenever I need to feel literally anything at all. -Tyler Hickman, reporter
