A Reader staffer shares three musical obsessions, then asks someone (who asks someone else) to take a turn.

Master Satan’s Witchery by Bestial Raids

Innermost Shrine, Heavily Gilded by Foie Gras

Austra, Future Politics I’ve long admired Katie Stelmanis’s ability to combine intelligent lyricism, operatic melodies, and electronic music. Her 2011 release Feel It Break has been a constant favorite over the past six years. With each new release, her writing and production grow more sophisticated and self-­assured. Future Politics manages to weave political idealism and criticism of neoliberalism into gorgeous, disco-­tinged jams. Future Politics will no doubt be among my favorite albums of 2017.
