Emo music

Screaming into the void with style: Matt DeMello's Canaries for the Cauldron delivers a "truly unhinged" B-sides collection spanning doo-wop Sublime covers to banjo-laced LCD Soundsystem, all left on the cutting room floor of his 2022 pop-crossover LP. The Darts' Topple Over Yesteryear channels pure hooligan fury — punk rock forever, no apologies — while their All That Remains of Popularity Wars is a scrappy artifact with missing tracks and a sobriety-minded heart. Memory Curse's Tug of Time rounds things out with melancholic post-rock — a different kind of breakup record entirely.
