Kevin Ayers, All This Crazy Gift of Time: The Recordings 1969-1973
Composed of the avant-garde songwriter’s first four solo records along with live recordings and other oddities, this collection is a wealth of weird ranging from pastoral freak-folk to circus noise.
Bon Iver, SABLE,
The threadbare arrangements and starkly poetic sense of woe and wonder found on Justin Vernon’s new EP fit his back catalog like a wooly, moth-eaten sweater.
Jordana, Lively Premonition
Refitting the yacht rock and Laurel Canyon sounds of the ’70s and ’90s country for the modern bedroom-pop era, the songwriter’s willingness to experiment keeps her fourth LP interesting.
