The classical and experimental realm features Eiko Ishibashi’s *Antigone*, a sweeping cinematic project recorded with a collaborative ensemble. Black metal band Deafheaven returns with *Lonely People With Power*, their debut album on Roadrunner Records. Seattle indie-rock group Great Grandpa releases their first album in six years, *Patience, Moonbeam*, and Brooklyn-based artist Ohyung offers *You Are Always on My Mind*, an introspective exploration of gender transition.
