Alex Cameron, Late to Set
The Australian artist’s fifth album houses some of his most brooding songs to date, a mood that strangely sharpens his songwriting without sacrificing his melodic sensibility.
Rome Streetz, Sock It 2 My Pocket
Over a rich tapestry of East Coast production styles, the Queens-reared emcee’s latest thrives in the space between Griselda-era boom-bap and the grimey hue of ’90s NYC drum loops.
Steve Lacy, Oh Yeah?
With a warmer, looser take on anthemic soul-pop, the guitarist and songwriter’s third solo effort sees him move way beyond the reach of The Internet.

2015. The Chemical Brothers Born in the Echoes cover art (1428x)
Get ready to get down like it’s 1995 all over again.
2014. Shabazz Palaces “Lese Majesty” album art.
Like Zora Neale Hurston floating existentialist word-jazz over elastic skronk from Sun Ra’s Arkestra, the newest album from Ishmael Butler (Butterfly, of Digable Planets) and multi-instrumentalist Tendai Maraire is far more scintillatingly experimental than its predecessor, Black Up.
2014. Eno * Hyde, “High Life” album art.
The lizardy charms of “Baby’s On Fire,” the blissful “I’ll Come Running,” the jazzy, energized harmonies of Wrong Way Up: it is this Eno that appears throughout High Life.
