L’Rain, Fata Morgana
Taja Cheek’s complex fourth album pushes the boundaries of genre to create something shimmering and otherworldly.
Kiwi Jr., Blowin’ Up
On an emotionally explosive fourth album of catchy quips about crime scenes, the Toronto jangle-pop band shifts from light-hearted procedural stuff to grisly noir.
Phoebe Bridgers, Lost Weekend
Bridgers’ voice as a songwriter has only grown more resonant on her first solo LP in six years, characterized by a delicate dance of amorous love and crippling grief.
Connor McInerney
The bonus LP of B-sides provides a sense of completion to Olsen’s “All Mirrors” era, although the set as whole feels a bit uneven.
The EP’s subject matter is thornier than past efforts’, leading to songwriting that pulls fewer punches.
DIRTY PROJECTORS
Longstreth also details his love of bossa nova and the ever-fluctuating definition of what Dirty Projectors really is.
Much of the signature grime has worn off, revealing an innovative—though not necessarily boundary pushing—shine.
