Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we consider the club-friendly remix collection that served as a spirited rebuke to critics who wished to paint goth’s posterboys into a corner.

The Russell brothers bridge the big-beat thrills and soaring emotions of their live shows with a more intimate, stripped-back, headphone-ready sound.
Blue Island
Ravyn Lenae
Reuniting with Dahi for velvety, ’80s-inspired pop, rock, and R&B, the singer explores a widening repertoire that unlocks new melodic possibilities.
In Lieu

On his first album for Mood Hut, the Texas-born producer offers a set of dubwise rhythmic workouts, intricately layering soft percussive details to evoke a dreamlike sheen.

Tranquilizer
Oneohtrix Point NeverBest New AlbumDrawing on a cache of commercial sample CDs, Daniel Lopatin assembles an impossibly dense and transportive electronic album that takes impermanence as its inspiration.
West End Girl
Lily AllenWith an album that doubles as an insider’s account of a tabloid divorce, the singer finds a new evolution of her signature style: Lightness isn’t a foil for irony, but a vehicle for hurt.
Repulsor
ShlohmoThe L.A. beatmaker turns aggressive on his fourth album—dialing up the distortion, flooding his beats with overdriven synths, and pushing anxious moods into the red.
