review
-
Billy Woods and Elucid team up again as Armand Hammer for one of the year’s best abstract hip hop albums.
-
UK punk outfit IDLES return with an album that improves on the brutal and politically charged style the band delivered on their debut last year. One of the best punk albums of the decade without question!
-
George Clanton’s brand of 90s-inspired hypnagogic pop on Slide is fresh and intriguing despite the album’s concept not being taken far enough.
-
Eminem falls just short of ending his career on his latest album, Kamikaze.
-
Marauder offers little more than a washed-out version of post-Bright Lights Interpol.
-
Blood Orange’s latest is a dreamy, sensual, and holistic album with a message.
-
Though it’s a pretty solid work of modern psych, Smote Reverser isn’t the wall-to-wall excitement that Oh Sees’ last few albums have been.
-
With its well executed concept, tight sequencing, and top-notch production from Animoss, Orpheus vs. the Sirens is probably the best album with which to introduce someone to the work of Ka.
-
Despite Louis unapologetically wearing his influences on his sleeve, Time is a solid addition to the Brainfeeder catalog.
-
Sweetener may be a Top 40 album through and through, but it’s somewhat elevated by some quality production and Ariana Grande’s consistently strong vocal performances.
