Flying Lotus, Big Mama
A hodgepodge of electronic textures, genres, and styles, the artist’s proper debut for his own Brainfeeder label feels improvisational despite its meticulous craftsmanship.
Talking Heads, Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live
These early live recordings and studio demos of tracks familiar from the band’s first three LPs provide worthwhile peeks into the ensemble’s process as a trio.
Various artists, HELP(2)
The sequel to the Britpop-era War Child comp couldn’t have arrived at a better time, with its guest-filled track list embodying the charity’s mission of healing in the midst of global violence.
