Reviews

Fly Anakin, (The) Forever Dream
The Virginia rapper’s guest-filled latest is a stellar collection of bright, diverse, and downright gorgeous hip-hop that’s so light-on-its-feet it can sometimes feel like it’s sweeping you off yours.
Tennis, Face Down in the Garden
The husband-and-wife duo calmly issue forth their always whimsical yet never overly precious musical blend of psych-tinged indie-pop from start to finish on their seventh and final LP.
Sarah Mary Chadwick, Take Me Out to a Bar / What Am I, Gatsby?
The deep crevices of profound dependence live within the Melbourne-based songwriter’s every word and melody throughout her grayly comic and experimentally recorded ninth album.
