Reviews

Odonis Odonis, Odonis Odonis
On their sixth LP, the industrial duo tones down the electronic tendencies of their past decade of output as they revisit to the gloomy post-punk and atmospheric shoegaze of their origins.
Sword II, Electric Hour
The Atlanta trio’s strange, radical second album of emotionally charged psych-gaze sees them honing a sound that feels striking and approachable, easy to grasp but also subtly experimental.
Danny Brown, Stardust
Further exploring keening EDM and wobbly house music, the newly drug-free rapper still insists that the low-lit dance floors be filled, and that the sweaty energy be high and mighty.
