At Pitchfork, “back-to-school season” means it’s time to brag to you about all the albums we’re looking forward to this fall. On the docket are “mind- or mood-altering” songs from one of the biggest rock bands around, a debut from a buzzy Australian singer-songwriter, a pop record that “exudes star quality,” and a member of Animal Collective using the power of the moon to make music. Find out about those and more below.
