New Planet Radio, the third album from SE Pennsylvania’s Canid, arrives after a busy year-and-a-half for the band. In a way, NPR acts as their first true album, collecting songs written in the year prior like mementos. These captured ideas circle themes of end-stage capitalism, city landscapes and science-fiction. Musically, Canid draws from a pool of noise-rock, punk, grunge, psych, no wave and jazz band standards, refusing to stick to one approach. (Honestly, it’s hard to pin down.) Angular guitars and barbed vocals interplay against a tight rhythm section unafraid of funk.

NPR’s cover art – strikingly brought to life by S. Catoe – explores alternate histories, false memories and a not-so-far-flung future in which skyscrapers never mattered much.
