Overmono, Pure Devotion
The sibling duo’s second album encapsulates a contemporary fusion of popular approaches to electronic music, one that’s imbued with a sense of familiar emotional weight.
John Carpenter, Cathedral
The Halloween composer-director’s latest effort is a synth-heavy metal album planned as a soundtrack to his first-ever graphic novel, though both endeavors stand on their own merits.
Ariana Grande, Petal
The pop star’s eighth record finds roots in resilience, twisted romance, and unsparing musings on fame, though it never quite ascends to the extravagant spectacle it sets the stage for.
Kevin Friedman
Lonnie Holley
The Happy Valley music festival once again stands out during festival season by embracing its natural surroundings and simply enlisting musicians who fit the scene.
It was a festival filled with dualities: that Charles Bradley is not a lone eagle, that J Mascis can blow out an amp and shred on acoustic within a matter of hours, that the pleasant Pacific Northwest can still get really freakin’ hot.
