Dua Saleh, Of Earth & Wires
The Sudanese-American songwriter’s second album blends R&B and electronic pop with spoken-word poetry to create a tapestry of lush sounds and mythic language.
Kraftwerk, Radio-Activity [50th Anniversary Edition]
This re-release presents a band that’s palatably gleeful to have figured out their formula with an astonishingly cohesive and weirdly poppy picture of a Cold War–fogged world.
Towa Bird, Gentleman
The shred-bending guitarist is out for blood on her second LP as she channels femme-punk fury and four-on-the-floor disco beats into songs aiming to bust the heads of the pop patriarchy.
Michael Duncan
On the Vancouver punks’ dynamic fourth album, growth is the name of the game.
Often built out of only one or two phrases, each of “Primitive”‘s tracks has something hypnotic at its core, reinforcing the adage that there is beauty in simplicity.
Guitarist/vocalist Hutch Harris’s wonderfully nasal tone and the band’s pessimistic Portland attitude models a perfect outlet for frantic frustrations and life’s bigger questions.

2016. Radiation City Synesthetica cover hi-res
“Synesthetica” lacks the overall drive, exploration, and charm that would make it radiant.
