album
-
NY rapper Action Bronson comes through with his glitziest album yet, loaded with classy piano instrumentals and over-the-top lyrics. It’s the mountains of filler after the first third of the LP that kills it, tho.
-
Godspeed You! Black Emperor hangs in their comfort zone on this new, relatively unambitious record of theirs.
-
Sufjan “Subaru” Stevens comes through with an incredibly sad, personal, and subtle record with Carrie & Lowell.
-
Death Grips finally completes an immense double album with the release of Jenny Death, assembling two very different–but satisfying–releases in the DG discography.
-
UK singer-songwiter Laura Marling releases one of her most upfront albums yet.
-
Several years ago, Kendrick Lamar was hip hop’s underdog. Today, he’s dropping what’s possibly the best rap album of the decade.
-
Aside from the closing track, this new, free Ratking project feels like a whole lotta filler.
-
Indie rock vets Modest Mouse release their first album in 8 years.
-
Athens indie vets of Montreal return with their usual blend of verbose, difficult lyricism, and colorful psychedelic pop rock.
-
Up-and-coming producer Clarence Clarity take a uniquely dense and cacophonous approach to pop and R&B on his hour-long debut.
