reviews
-
John Frusciante comes through with another demo-quality dud with Enclosure.
-
Chet Faker brings together a few decent songs and instrumentals on this debut album of his, and while he’s a capable producer, he falls horrifically short as a singer, in my opinion.
-
While the Hotelier’s latest effort stays true to the emo archetype, and delivers some good production, the band’s approach still remains pretty nondescript for the genre.
-
The new single from George Lewis Jr., a.k.a. Twin Shadow, is pure power ballad mimicry. You might dig it if, you know, you’re into that sorta thing.
-
Toronto’s Thantifaxath have come through with one of the most ferocious, explosive, and well-recorded black metal records you’re sure to hear this year. There’s a slight prog rock tinge to the songwriting, too.
-
Illinois rapper Lil Herb seems to be the hotly anticipated lyrical messiah to come out of the currently hot Chicago drill scene.
-
Lana Del Rey drops a new single in promotion of her forthcoming album Ultraviolence.
-
This sophomore LP from Brisbane band IDYLLS is one of the most twisted, extreme records I’ve come across this year.
-
While I wish Broken Ankles was longer, in five tracks, Girl Talk and Freeway create more compelling material than some of the more buzzed-about mixtapes that have dropped thus far this year.
-
CunninLynguists pack their latest project with one track after another of quality features.
