Reviews

Father John Misty, Mahashmashana
Josh Tillman focuses his lens on death on his darkly comedic sixth album as eclectic instrumentation continues to buttress his folky chamber pop beyond ’70s pastiche.
John Cale, Paris 1919 + The Academy in Peril [Reissues]
These remastered early solo releases are a testament to the breadth of the composer’s innovative sonic and lyrical éclat beyond his more menacing proto-punk work.
TV on the Radio, Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes [20th Anniversary Edition]
The new reissue expands on the lyrical desolation, moody arrangements, and incendiary sonic vibes fueled by post-9/11 Brooklyn that define this debut.
