reviews
-
Danish post-punkers Iceage plow into the field of love with full force, backing up their longest set of songs yet with pianos, strings, and horns.
-
The new Shellac album is decent, but falls disappointingly short of the reaction “Dude, incredible!”
-
Thom Yorke’s latest solo endeavor has an interesting aesthetic, but the appeal of these tracks doesn’t extend too far beyond that.
-
On Perfume Genius’ third album, singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas uplifts his emotionally charged piano dirges with even more backing instrumentation.
-
After an odd fourth album, Interpol returns to form with an incredibly safe record on El Pintor.
-
Fusing psychedelic pop, noise rock, lo-fi, and synth punk, this Julian Casablancas side-project is incredibly dense, diverse, and fun.
-
Hellfyre Club’s freshest, youngest face releases his first official full-length. Also, kudos on referencing my favorite Silver Jews song.
-
Art rap vet Busdriver drops one of his most exciting and confounding albums yet.
-
After 13 years of studio album silence, Aphex Twin makes a mild return.
-
There are some great songs at the core of Banks’ Goddess, but the album’s potential gets lost in bland production and her underutilized vocal range.
