-
Travis Scott continues pushing the psychedelic boundaries of trap on Astroworld, but doesn’t quite stick the landing.
-
Four Pieces for Mirai finds James Ferraro at the top of his MIDI composition game and leaves me on the edge of my seat for the albums it’s teasing towards.
-
Let’s Eat Grandma’s sophomore album is a hodgepodge of mostly great ideas.
-
Melody Prochet has bounced back with some of the freshest ideas coming out of neo-psych right now.
-
Head in the Clouds blends into the current wave of trap-flavored pop rap a little too well.
-
Pretty much all the awkward kinks in The Internet’s previous albums evaporate on Hive Mind.
-
Busdriver’s latest may appear ambitious in scope, but Electricity is on our Side only offers a less prepared version of the enigmatic rapper.
-
Back to being a band, Dirty Projectors squanders a fair bit of potential on Lamp Lit Prose.
-
Snail Mail’s debut album is a pretty plain indie rock affair, though Lindsey Jordan’s potential as a singer-songwriter is apparent.
-
Haru Nemuri’s debut album pushes J-pop/rap in an exciting direction by channeling Japan’s rich history of underground rock music.
