Stereolab, Instant Holograms on Metal Film
Their first new album in fifteen years spins on an axis of subtly infectious refrains and gently askew rhythms—it’s avant-garde art-pop as something radically old yet experimentally new.

Sparks, MAD!
The Mael brothers’ 26th album purrs with sincere longings dedicated to romantic splits, though ultimately remains true to the duo’s idiosyncratic melody and tongue-in-cheek lyricism.

These New Puritans, Crooked Wing
The interplay of organ and voice throughout the Essex band’s fifth album creates a haunting document of the modern world wrestling for coexistence with the old world.
Mike LeSuer
