This Week on Wax: Niall Horan, Modest Mouse and more...

Welcome to This Week on Wax, where fresh sounds and long-awaited returns find their place on the turntable.

This week's releases blend heartfelt pop, indie complexity, and dreamlike songwriting, creating a collection that feels personal, expansive, and meant to linger for a while.



Niall Horan - Dinner Party

Niall Horan returns with Dinner Party, a record inspired by the moment he met his partner and shaped around themes of love, intimacy, and life’s beautifully messy in between moments. There is warmth running through the album, pairing soft focus melodies with the kind of honest songwriting that has become his signature. It feels cinematic yet grounded, the sound of an artist inviting listeners into his world rather than performing from a distance.

Modest Mouse - An Eraser and a Maze

Modest Mouse return with An Eraser and a Maze, their first independent release in decades, and a record already wrapped in intrigue. Expanding on ideas originally intended for another project, the album leans into the band’s restless creativity and unpredictable spirit. There is tension, experimentation, and plenty of the off-kilter energy that has always made Modest Mouse feel impossible to pin down.
