Banks is bold, brooding, and adventuresome on her sophomore album. Featuring SOHN and DJ Dahi, The Altar serves up brave confessions (“I’ve been a resentful kid,” she admits on "Poltergeist”) and vocal experimentation (hear her whisper through the chorus on “F*ck With Myself”). Don’t miss “27 Hours,” a tear-jerking break-up ballad packed with feeling.
