On the Horrors third LP, the primary colors that combined to created the band’s eccentric brand of post-punk start to fade a little bit; however, I think the move is sort of intentional. Rather than sticking to their guns, the band is moving in a decidedly psychedelic and atmospheric
Washed Out’s debut LP definitely brings a comparative change from the project’s early EPs. I guess my issue is that the change just isn’t enough to make me wanna stick with this album over previous efforts. There are flashes of progression and ambition here and there, but
Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar doesn’t follow the usual tough and hardened stereotypes that come with repping the California city. The guy isn’t a wimp, but he’s more interested in saying something thought-provoking than violent. Backed by some fantastic beats, that’s what every track on this new

On Sam Baker’s Album, Samiyam pulls together some pretty great grooves and sounds. My problem is not much of it moves or develops into anything interesting. This release is more like a sampler of various atmospheres this L.A. producer can create, and that’s fine. Maybe it’ll
On Black Up, Shabazz Palaces take hip hop deep into the left field with odd beats and surreal effects. It’s definitely an indulgent LP that requires a little bit of effort from the listener, but repeating these songs until they completely unfold is worth the wait. Part of me
