The Garden, Bootleg
“Thrilling” is putting the twin duo’s sixth album gently, as Wyatt and Fletcher Shears refuse to sit still throughout 14 superstitious tracks of dark anarchy and paranormal possibility.
Scritti Politti, Cupid & Psyche 85 [Deluxe Edition]
Seduced by the sound of sleek American R&B of the early ’80s, Green Gartside fashioned the tone of his band’s second album around irresistible melodies and crisp drum programming.
Allison Russell, In the Hour of Chaos
Clearly written in the pressure cooker of Trump’s America, the artist’s community-oriented third album battles the darkness with an at-times overwhelming sense of optimism.
