Morrissey, Make-Up Is a Lie
It isn’t always hard to trick ourselves into remembering Moz as he once was on this return-to-form solo LP as he matches mischievous observations with a winning brand of melancholy pop.
Bill Callahan, My Days of 58
Well-observed, a bit absurd, and wholly singular, this “hobo stew” permits each instrument and each musical idea to embrace Callahan’s discursive lyrical and structural style.
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.
