The new Moonface record not only features a simple display of Spencer Krug’s vocals against his incredibly refined piano playing, but it’s also the Canadian singer-songwriter’s most personal record yet.
Californian singer and model Sky Ferreira’s full-length debut leaves a lot to be desired outside of the album’s handful of enjoyable pop songs.
Demented and hellish, the new Soupcans EP does not mess around.
On M.I.A.’s latest record, the UK-based rapper, singer, and producer takes a small step away from the noisy production that made her last record so bombastic, but still manages to deliver a series of smart, infectious, and wild banger-style party tracks.
Daniel Avery assembles a diverse album of well-crafted tech house tracks that’s solid from start to finish.
While Death Grips’ Government Plates might be one of the most aggressive releases to come from the experimental hip hop trio, it’s also one of their most forgettable, repetitious, short-winded, and half-baked.
