Wishy, Nature’s Pill
The guitar-pop group expands upon their 2024 debut with a more relaxed effort emphasizing a stronger interplay between two co-vocalists who remain a match made in college-rock heaven.
Leon Bridges, Happiness Anytime
Continuing to defy expectations, the Texan R&B songwriter heads for the London dancefloor on a joyful collaboration with acid-jazz outfit Jungle.
Hermanos Gutiérrez, Los Ojos del Cóndor
Dedicated to the instrumental folk duo’s father, their forlorn cinematic expanse is given greater breadth and interwoven liveliness on their seventh LP.

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.
