Reviews

Kim Deal, Nobody Loves You More
On her solo debut, The Breeders band leader abandons sarcasm and lo-fi aesthetics in favor of florid arrangements that frame a far more sensitive side of the songwriter.
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Joe Goddard, Neptunes
Each track on the electronic composer and Hot Chip leader’s debut EP together has a unique rhythmic texture, with the constant theme being a wall of bass that transports you to a celestial space.
New Order, Brotherhood [Definitive Edition]
With one side dedicated to icy compu-disco and the other tied to the band’s beyond-punk origin story, this expanded reissue brings new order to the 1986 curio with live recordings, remixes, and more.
