The Creem, A Taste of Cherry
On their collaborative debut, Islands’ Nick Thorburn and Ratatat’s Mike Stroud mostly adhere to a conventional pop format and rarely deviate into either artist’s inherent weirdness.
Charli XCX, Music, Fashion, Film
The pop star’s guitar-strewn reset is the stuff of savage, searing power-pop with primal, minimalist rhythms and a hint of sleek, sizzling electronics.
The Strokes, Reality Awaits
With their first album in six years, the influential garage rockers have defiantly moved on from slacker apathy in favor of a synthier era defined by an unexpected foray into the political.
