Tres Leches, “Fósil”
The local post-punk faves return on their anticipated sophomore album to rail against low-paying promoters and the commodification of art (“Two Fifty”), and Seattle police union boss Mike Solan on the biting defund anthem “Cop Out.” In its less confrontational moments, the twirling psychedelia of “Tiempo” and “Nieve” show the songwriting strides multi-instrumentalists Alaia D’Alessandro and Ulises Mariscal have made since 2019’s well-received “Amorfo.”
