Nicholas Jarr preceded his second Against All Logic record with a strange and indulgent EP that has some high profile names attached to it, but lacked the immediate charm that his music under the moniker has so often had.
Review
Dan Beyar is back in his stride with yet another excellent entry into the long running sophisticated piano pop legacy he has built the Destroyer name under,
Have We Met is an absolute treat.
Review
Torres unique approach to singer-songwriter music brings a sharp electronic edge and the beauty of chamber pop instrumentals to her intimate and passionate vocal performances to make for one of the genres more unique listens in recent memory.
Review
Funeral shows off some of Wayne's creativity across its tracklist but it is ultimately a wildly inconsistent set of songs that runs on well past the point where it stops being interesting,
Review
The follow-up to Nicholas Jarr's surprise 2018 hit came sooner than anticipated but once again provided a set of infectious and intoxicating low-fi house songs that are just as catchy as they are unique, textured and interesting.
Review
Unlocked is a short, explosive but unfocused collaboration between two of hip hops hottest names that serves more as a taster for what the collaboration could possibly bring going forward.
Review
Circles can be a very difficult listen. Sometimes for the potency and despondent sadness of its lyrics within the context of Mac's death. And sometimes due to songs that really didn't need to be released to the public. It is at least a little bit more consistent than the last few records of Mac's life.
Review
The prolific Mark Kozelek's most recent outing is a bit of a long and messy one that has some annoying lows but some very interesting and captivating highs.
Review
Tame Impala's long absence fostered a need for the shimmery soaring psychedelic indie rock and
The Slow Rush filled every bit of that need. With soaring compositions stunning percussion and more catchy refrains than you can count Kevin Parker has gone above and beyond his already legendary status as a pop crossover artist.
Review
Pet Shop Boys are sounding less inspired than ever on their most recent record where they do the impossible and push synth pop closer to corniness than ever before.
Review
Mind Hive has almost nothing to grab onto and sees the band jumping between watered down and uninspired versions of genres they conquered years ago.
Review
High Road features some of the highest high points you'll hear in pop music as well but they are unfortunately paired with flat out embarrassing songs and artistic decisions that definitely shouldn't have made it to the ears of the general public.
Review
It is quite unfortunate that
Supervision is the most boring of La Roux's records yer, because it may be a long time before we get another one.
Review
Grimes trades out the punchiness of
Art Angels for a more measured, distant and apocalyptic take on synth pop on
Miss Anthropocene.
Review
Father Of All is so soaked in rock cliches and out of touch with contemporary music that when a good moment appears once or twice, it feels like an accident.
Review
The combination of Lingua Ignota, The Body and Full Of Hell minus any guitars make for a very unique post-hardcore experience that I wish could have gone on for longer.
Review
Weather is what it sounds like when you've spent 40 years absolutely perfecting the sound of sheer undoctored cornyness, and should be heard by everyone even if not for the right reasons.
Review
Artist 2.0 is a step in the right direction for Boogie after his last record but still finds itself run down with mediocre songs and so many bad features.
