JWords, Sound Therapy
True to its name, this LP invites the listener to revitalize and reflect as the Brooklyn-based producer reconnects with her emceeing roots and wraps us in soft synthscapes.
Loraine James, Detached From the Rest of You
A stab at an “IDM popstar album,” the Londoner’s sixth LP under her own name sees her paring her palette down to the core essentials for what is perhaps her most understated effort yet.
Cola, Cost of Living Adjustment
While they continue to excel at lo-fi post-punk, the Canadian outfit’s third album mixes the angularity and simplicity of their previous LPs with something much lusher and richer.
